Amad and Christian Eriksen were on target at Old Trafford, where Martinez was sent off at the end of the first half after he wiped out Rasmus Hojlund. Man Utd took a deserved lead when Amad headed home Bruno Fernandes' excellent left-wing centre in the 76th minute. Eriksen, playing his last game for United, added a second from the penalty spot as the beaten UEFA Europa League finalists signed off with a win that sees them finish 15th.
Martinez made four saves in the opening 10 minutes alone, with Mason Mount twice denied as Man Utd came out of the traps fast. Amad bundled wide from eight yards and substitute Diogo Dalot crashed an outswinging shot against the left upright, albeit an earlier offside may have denied him anyway.
Amorim sees light at the end of the tunnel
Following that blow, Ruben Amorim suggested he would walk away for nothing if the Old Trafford hierarchy felt he was no longer the man to lead the team.
The irony is, had United been as proactive in Bilbao as they were here then such a forthright offer probably would not have been needed. United were extremely wasteful for a lot of the game, with Amorim displaying his frustration when he kicked a water bottle after Casemiro struck the woodwork.
But finally, the United boss had a smile on his face as his side deservedly made the breakthrough with a moment of magic from their inspirational captain Fernandes.
