Matthijs de Ligt doubtful for Man Utd’s Europa League semi-final second leg

Matthijs de Ligt looks set to miss Manchester United’s Europa League clash against Athletic Bilbao after sitting out of training on the eve of Thursday’s semi-final.

Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils boast a 3-0 lead from the first leg in Spain, where Casemiro’s opener was followed by Dani Vivian’s sending off and a Bruno Fernandes brace.

De Ligt returned from a month out in Spain as a second-half substitute at San Mames and went on to start Sunday’s 4-3 loss Brentford, only to limp off after 35 minutes.
