Athletic Club forward, Nico Williams has come out to say that it is every kid’s dream to play at Old Trafford. He recently had his say as his team prepare to face Manchester United in the Europa League semi-finals, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, there will be no favorite to win the UEL semifinal tie, and even if Manchester United is not doing so well in the English Premier League this season, they proved what they are capable of with their stunning comeback vs Lyon.
Nico added that he wants Athletic Club to reach the UEL final mainly because the final’s venue will be their home stadium.
His words, “Every kid wants to play at Old Trafford. We’ll try to put our best foot forward in the first leg at San Mames to go there with determination and show what Athletic Bilbao is all about.
This tie will have no favourite. Manchester United is at the bottom of the league, but they made it clear against Olympique Lyonnais what they’re capable with the way they handled the match.
Hopefully we’ll reach the final, which is something the team is deserving of, and we’re happy. It’s the only objective we have, and it’s something we’ve always thought about. We want to do much more than just reach the final.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
