The hosts started brightly but failed to convert early chances through Inaki Williams and Alex Berenguer.

United went ahead on 30 minutes when Harry Maguire set up Casemiro for a close-range header. Seven minutes later, Athletic were reduced to 10 men after Dani Vivian fouled Rasmus Hojlund in the box.

Bruno Fernandes converted the penalty and added a second just before halftime following a flick from Manuel Ugarte.
