Summary

Manchester United receives a much-needed boost as former players Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt return to training ahead of their Europa League semifinal against Athletic Club. Despite missing significant time due to injuries—Diallo with an ankle issue and De Ligt with a six-game suspension—their return gives the squad a fighting chance, especially with coach Rúben Amorim possibly selecting a back line featuring Harry Maguire for the crucial encounter. However, the team's defensive struggles remain a concern as they've kept just one clean sheet in their last three games, raising questions about how Amorim will manage his selection ahead of the match.
