Mason Mount delivered a dazzling performance as Manchester United thrashed Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at Old Trafford on Thursday, sealing a dominant 7-1 aggregate victory to book a Europa League final clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite their three-goal cushion from the first leg in Spain, United looked shaky in the opening stages. They fell behind to a stunning long-range effort from Mikel Jauregizar and struggled for cohesion throughout the first half.
But a wave of second-half substitutions changed the momentum completely. Mount and Amad Diallo were introduced, injecting urgency and creativity into United's play.
Mount, who has endured a frustrating time since his switch from Chelsea, drew United level in the 72nd minute with a smart turn and clinical strike into the far corner. That opened the floodgates.
Casemiro added a second with a powerful header from Bruno Fernandes cross, Rasmus Hojlund slotted home a third, and Mount capped the night with a sensational strike from near the halfway line after catching the Bilbao goalkeeper off his line.
