Mason Mount scored twice as Manchester United thrashed Athletic Bilbao (Picture: Getty) TNT Sports pundit Robbie Savage attracted criticism for a baffling claim about Mason Mount as Manchester United surged into the Europa League final. United’s place in the final looked all but secured after they thumped 10-man Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the first leg in Spain. But Ruben Amorim’s side, who scored two extra-time goals to beat Lyon in the last round, trailed at Old Trafford in the second leg through Mikel Jauregizar’s opener. Bilbao threatened to score again and pile the pressure on United before the hosts scored four goals in the final 20 minutes to win 4-1 on the night and 7-1 on aggregate. Mount settled the nerves with Manchester United’s first goal just 10 minutes after coming off the bench before Casemiro headed home a second. Rasmus Hojlund, who has endured a difficult season at Old Trafford, added United’s third before Mount scored a brilliant fourth from nearly the halfway line after the Bilbao goalkeeper came off his line and lost the ball. It was heartwarming to see ex-England star Mount with a smile on his face following his frustrating spell at United since a £60m move from boyhood club Chelsea.

They were struggling there but Mount scored two world-class goals.’ Fans were quick to point out that Mount not only won the Champions League at Chelsea but provided the assist for Kai Havertz’s winner against Manchester City in 2021.
