Harry Maguire has called on Manchester United’s senior players to rise to the occasion and secure the team’s place in the Europa League final. United hold a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg of their semi-final tie against Athletic Bilbao, and Maguire emphasized the importance of experience and leadership heading into the return leg at Old Trafford.
Goals from Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes—who scored twice at San Mamés—put United in an excellent position to advance. With a potential final matchup against Tottenham on the horizon, following their 3-1 win over Bodø/Glimt, Maguire stressed that this is the moment for veteran players like Casemiro and Fernandes to guide the team through any remaining challenges.
Speaking ahead of the decisive second leg, the United defender warned against complacency and highlighted the need for focus and composure: “It’s in games like these that senior players need to handle the pressure and set the standard,” he said. “We’ve given ourselves a great advantage, but we still have a job to finish.”
United fans will be hoping their team’s leaders answer the call and book their place in the Europa League final.
