Premier League manager conspiring against Man Utd with plans to dish dirt to rival boss
Manchester United’s tricky assignment against Athletic Club may be about to get even trickier. Ruben Amorim needs to mastermind a win over the Basque club in the Europa League semi-finals to rescue United’s sorry season, but he will be up against a manager with expert advice in his back pocket from a boss who has the Red Devils’ number.
United won a 5-4 second-leg blockbuster to get past Lyon in the quarter-finals, and their upcoming semi could be similarly tough. The form table is with Athletic Club, who sit fourth in La Liga with only five defeats in 33 games. Amorim’s side, meanwhile, are 14th in the Premier League and on a run of five domestic games without a victory.
