Amorim Praises Mount and Mainoo for Their Impact in Man U’s Win Over Bilbao
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has praised Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo for their impact in the club’s 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford. Mount scored twice, while Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund added one each to seal the dominant win and send United into the final.
Amorim, speaking after the match, expressed his joy at seeing Mount and Mainoo come off the bench to help turn the game around. “I’m really happy for Mason,” Amorim said. “And I liked what I saw from Kobbie too. Sometimes you come off the bench and completely change the game.” He went on to highlight Mount’s work ethic and versatility.
“When you have someone like Mason who trains hard, eats right, takes his recovery seriously—you just want to support him,” he said. “He’s ideal for that role. He can control the midfield and also run like a winger.” Up next, Manchester United will meet Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final later this month.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
