Manchester United vs Athletic Club prediction
Only a historic collapse will see Manchester United miss out on the final… but if any team is capable of that this season, then it is United.

Lyon’s performance in the quarter-final second leg, in which they scored four, will give Athletic Club hope, but there will surely be opportunities for United to score the one goal needed to effectively end the tie.
