With Mount's double, Casemiro and Hojlund's goals, Manchester United beat Bilbao 4-1 in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final and successfully advanced to the final. Amorim said he was happy for Mount's return to the team and achieved good results, and praised the star for his ability to play different roles on the field.
Alvaro Jalló shot at the goal in the 31st minute but was blocked by Yoro. Then Jaureguizar got the ball and shot from a long distance, helping Bilbao take the lead 1-0.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Yoro made a diagonal pass, and Mount, who came on as a substitute, got the ball after dealing with the defense and turned around to shoot and score, helping Manchester United to tie the score 1-1. In the 79th minute, Bruno Fernandes assisted Casemiro with a header from a free kick, helping Manchester United to overtake 2-1.
In the 85th minute, Diallo passed the ball back to the front of the goal, and the unguarded Hojlund shot low and hit the target, helping Manchester United continue to lead Bilbao 3 to 1. In the second half stoppage time, Bilbao goalkeeper Aguirre Zavala made a mistake when attacking, and Mount seized the ball and scored with a long shot.
In the end, Manchester United won 4-1 at Old Trafford and eliminated Bilbao with a total score of 7-1, successfully advancing to the final.
It is worth mentioning that the 26-year-old Mount has missed many games this season due to injuries, but he proved his strength by scoring a goal against Bilbao.
Manchester United coach Amorim said, "It is really important for every player to return to the field. But when you see players like him working hard every day, eating properly, getting enough rest, taking ice baths and giving everything, you will want to help them even more."
"Mount has the right technical characteristics for this position. He can play in midfield, run like a winger and get the ball with his back to goal. I'm really happy for him."
On the other hand, Manchester United will compete with Tottenham Hotspur, also from the Premier League, for the championship in the Europa League final, and both teams are aiming to qualify for Europe.
It is worth mentioning that Tottenham Hotspur has won all three matches against Manchester United in all competitions this season.
Amorim said: "It will be a very exciting game, with mixed emotions because both teams have gone through a difficult season in the Premier League and are eager to win something. This game means a lot not only to us but also to Tottenham Hotspur. For me, this game is also special, and for Postkog as well, after all, after such a season."
"If you look at the odds, it's difficult for a team to lose to the same opponent four times in a row, so we can't look at this game with that mentality. I think the most important thing is to have a complete lineup, which is the foundation."
In addition, Amorim added, "At the same time, we need to study this game fully and have some luck. We lost a goal in the game, but we had many counterattack opportunities to score, but we failed to seize them. So in the final, we must be more efficient."
