RUBEN AMORIM is worried about losing to Athletic Bilbao as his team have a tendency to “lose our minds”.
Manchester United take a commanding 3-0 lead into Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford.

But despite the scoreline, Amorim believes the tie is far from over as his players could capitulate and leak goals like they did in recent games to Lyon and Brentford.
The manager admitted in his pre-match press conference: “We cannot control, we cannot say what is going to happen.
“There are some teams that understand the game is going to be like this.
“It can change a little bit but the story is going to be like this and you can control the narrative of the game. But we cannot do that.
“We have to face the game as one more game, to win it, I feel we need to score to go to the next round.
“We use Brentford, we are near a draw then we suffer a goal and another goal quite fast.
“We will have to suffer a bit to go to the final and we are ready to suffer.”
Asked what Man Utd will turn up tomorrow, Amorim said: “Sometimes during the game we are one team and something happens and we then we lose our mind a little bit.

“But we are improving the way we play, we are more confident and ready to face this challenge.”
As they edge closer to silverware, Amorim was asked about when he labelled his side the “worst Man Utd team in history” back in January.
Amorim has not changed his mind despite the Europa League run, replying: “If you look to the Premier League, since I arrive, we are the worst team in terms of results.
“In the end of this season, we can be the worst team in Premier League history but with a European title. That will change nothing.
“We know that this season was really disappointing for everybody, nothing is going to change.
“This season was the worst one, I don’t know if in history but, for sure, in the last 50 years.”
