Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim praised Mason Mount for his crucial performance in the 4-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao that secured United's place in the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur. Mount, who had struggled with injuries throughout the season, scored twice after coming off the bench, becoming the first United substitute to score a European knockout brace since David Beckham in 2003. Amorim highlighted Mount's hard work, dedication, and versatility as key factors in his success, while teammates and staff also showed strong support for the midfielder. Despite a challenging domestic season, Amorim expressed pride in reaching a major European final in his first season as Manchester United manager. Mount's brace marked his first in European competition and underscored his importance to the team, with the coach noting that such performances justify the effort to help and support him. The victory was a significant morale boost for the squad as they prepare for the May 21 final at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.
