- Highlights
90+3'
There goes the final whistle! Carrick sees a shot deflect over the bar as the whistle sounds. A breathless night, but Athletic have won this first leg 3-2.
89'
GOAL! Rooney drills the penalty low into the corner of the net. United now trail 3-2. Super penalty. We are into three minutes of time added on.
88'
PENALTY TO UNITED! De Marcos handles in the box. Stonewall penalty and he is rightly booked for that one.
87'
GOAL! 3-1 to Athletic. Muniain smashes the ball home from close range on the rebound after De Marcos had brought out another stunning stop from De Gea.
86'
Referee halts play to enable Evra to put his boot back on. Not seen that before. Or that is what it looked like.
85'
United try to bring the ball out from the back through Evans. Works it inside to Jones, but he just overuns the ball. Chance gone as Iraizoz collects.
84'
Young deemed guilty of climbing over Martinez in the air. Free-kick to Athletic deep in their own half.
83'
Íñigo Pérez arrives to replace Ander Herrera for the visiting side. The travelling fans revelling in this. And no wonder.
82'

De Gea forced to make his latest decent stop to palm over the shot by Toquero. That one was travelling.
81'
Appeals for a penalty. Hernandez seemed to be being fouled in the area by San Jose, but the referee waves play on.
80'
Toquero is brought on to take over from Llorente for this bristling Bilbao side.
79'
![Live comment icon](https://i.eurosport.com/liveicons/239571.png)
Rooney drives a vicious shot at goal. That had pace on it from distance, but Iraizoz got behind it to make the stop.
78'
Bilbao have hardly stopped for breath in this match. Incredible energy levels as United try to get something going of note.
77'
Martinez on hand to clear the danger from inside his box. A fine piece of defending.
76'
Rooney drives at the visiting side's defence, but opens his body up a bit too much before lifting the shot over the bar from 25 yards out.
75'
Young sweeps in the cross from out wide. San Jose stands tall to head clear the danger.
74'
Change for United as Nani is wheeled on for Giggs, who has worked incredibly hard this evening.
73'
Athletic on the ball and in control as Evra takes out Iraola with a late challenge.
72'
Lovely little ball over the top from Herrera and the finish with the left foot was outstanding. No wonder the visiting fans are jumping around.
71'
GOAL! De Marcos slams home a volley. A stunning goal from inside the box and Athletic lead 2-1 on the night. That was a magnificent strike. Sensational stuff.
