Amorim claims he can’t take it for granted that they can hold a 3-0 lead in UEL

Ruben Amorim is not sure which Manchester United will appear on Thursday for the second stage of the semi-final of the Europa League against Athletic Bilbao on Old Trafford, and admits that his team sometimes 'loses our thoughts'.

Amorim tries to protect itself against complacency after United took an impressive 3-0 lead last week in the first stage in Spain.

After seeing Lyon coming from two goals to lead 4-2 in the quarterfinals in Old Trafford Before Harry Maguire led an injury-time winner, the United Boss does not obtain anything for granted.

“If you look at our team, we can't say today what will happen,” said Amorim, whose side also allowed four in Brentford on Sunday.

'Some teams, the story will be like that and control the story – we can't do that.

'I feel that we have to score to go to the next round. Then we use Brentford, we are near a draw, then we have a goal and another.

'We will have to suffer a little to go to the final, and we are ready to suffer. Sometimes we are one team during the game and we lose ourselves a bit.

'If you look at our season, anything is possible. We must understand that one goal can change everything: the momentum of the game, a shipment, you saw it a week ago. We fight to win the game. We are thinking about winning the game. '

Bilbao left Dani Vivian away to the San Mames before Bruno Fernandes increased the lead of United of the Penalty spot when the balance of the draw was firmly waved in their favor.

Asked if he looked back the game, Amorim added: 'I looked at the first 30 minutes and I forget the rest because you cannot prepare the game 11 against 10. I felt that they were again really intense, but most chances were our fault. We have lost the possession, it is difficult to find some space. '

Bilbao will be Williams without Wingers Nico and Inaki, but Amorim still believes that the Basques will pose a serious threat.

“It doesn't matter. For us it is the top team of athletic. I understand that it is difficult to play without important players, but it doesn't matter to us. We have to go to the game and try to win it. '
