Athletic Club vs Manchester United Preview and Team News

Athletic Club News

Athletic Club defeated Las Palmas with an unimpressive 1-0 victory, thanks to an early goal from Iñaki Williams in the 5th minute. Although possession was shared between the two teams, Athletic Club were more effective, totalling over 2 xG (about double of Las Palmas). Ernesto Valverde’s team sit 4th in La Liga, six points behind Atlético de Madrid. 

A victory was important after the 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid a week prior, when Federico Valverde scored the winner in additional time. Ernesto Valverde had rotated his squad after the Europa League clash against Rangers, deemed the priority at this stage of the season. Athletic Club are set to face Manchester United next, who have already played against Athletic Club’s neighbors, Real Sociedad. 

Oihan Sancet suffered an injury against Las Palmas and is set to be out for the next two weeks.

Athletic Club Predicted Line-up vs Manchester United

Athletic Club Predicted line-up vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Lekue, Álvarez, Vivian, De Marcos; Prados, Jauregizar; I.Williams, Gómez, N Williams; Sannadi.

Manchester United Team News

Manchester United’s season has been a nightmare, with the club struggling on and off the pitch. Appointing Rúben Amorim mid-season has come with several challenges, especially with the Portuguese slashing several players in front of the media. His team sit 14th in the Premier League, winless in their last five matches. 

The Europa League is the last hope for Manchester United to secure a trophy. In the meantime, the club has already begun to explore options in the transfer market ahead of the summer. Several questions surround the future of Antony, loaned to Real Betis in the winter transfer window. 

Although both the player and Real Betis want to continue, the Andalusian club is unlikely to meet Manchester United’s economic demands for the Brazilian winger, according to English news outlet The Mirror.

Manchester United dominated possession against Bournemouth last week, but were unable to do better than a 1-1 draw. The team has struggled with scoring in the last weeks, which comes as a mix of individual and collective issues. Rasmus Højlund salvaged a point in additional time as he scored a last-minute equalizer.

Amad Diallo, Ayden Heaven, Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Toby Collyer will be sidelined due to injuries.

Manchester United Predicted line-up vs Athletic Club

Manchester United Predicted line-up vs Athletic Club (3-4-2-1): Onana; Shaw, Maguire, Yoro; Dorgu, Casemiro, Mainoo, Mazraoui; Fernandes, Garnacho; Højlund.

Athletic Club vs Manchester United Prediction

  • Prediction: Draw
  • Odds: 3.38 (22Bet)
  • Score Prediction: Athletic Club 1-1 Manchester United

A victory would be historic for Athletic Club, although that will be a difficult task without the presence of the injured Oihan Sancet. Athletic Club needed a playmaker like him, but they can still make it with the support of San Mamés. Bilbao, as a city, is united in its support for the team. The match at Old Trafford would be more difficult to win, which is why a victory at home is needed.

A number of Manchester United’s injuries make it a challenging venue for the visitors, considering Manchester United just passed against Lyon in the quarterfinals.

Athletic Club vs Manchester United Betting Tip

  • Pick: Alex Bérenguer to score
  • Odds: 4.75 (22Bet)

Although Berenguer has only scored five goals this season, he remains a key component of the team’s attack. His athleticism and chemistry with the William brothers make him a dangerous player in the final third, especially in the absence of Oihan Sancet.
