BILBAO, Spain (Reuters) -Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim admitted it is hard to explain how his team are enjoying such differing seasons domestically and in European competition, following the Premier League strugglers' 3-0 win at Athletico Bilbao on Thursday.

United's Europa League semi-final first leg victory in the Basque country ensured they remain the only team unbeaten in European competition this season, in contrast to the fact they are on course for a worst-ever Premier League points haul.
