Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United: Europa League Final

The Europa League final will take place in Bilbao on Wednesday, and both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United will be looking to salvage disappointing seasons.

As they meet for the sixth all-English UEFA final, United and Spurs can put their domestic woes aside for at least 90 minutes. A victory at San Mames would also boost United's European aspirations for the next season.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

After 17 years without a major trophy, Tottenham has a shot at Europa League glory this season despite a poor Premier League campaign. Spurs, winners in 1972 and 1984, could become the second English club after Liverpool to lift the trophy three times.

Ange Postecoglou, under pressure but eyeing a second-year title streak at every club he's managed, has guided Spurs to the final after a 5-1 semi-final win over Bodo/Glimt. Tottenham have won nine of 14 Europa League matches, though they sit 17th after 21 defeats.

Spurs have beaten Manchester United three times this season, while United enter the final winless in their last six against Tottenham. United, aiming for their first Europa League title since 2017, crushed Athletic Bilbao in the semis after a dramatic 7-6 aggregate win over Lyon.

United have scored 35 Europa League goals this season — just shy of the record — and remain unbeaten in Europe under Ruben Amorim. Amorim, hoping to redeem a rocky domestic run, could become the third United boss to win silverware in his debut season.

Postecoglou named a depleted squad at Villa Park, while Amorim recalled several starters for match fitness. Despite Antonin Kinsky's solid outing, Guglielmo Vicario returns in goal, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, and Pedro Porro back for another season.

Captain Heung-min Son returned from a foot injury and may start Wednesday's final. Still, Tottenham remains without Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, Timo Werner, and Radu Dragusin. Solanke, with five Europa League goals and four assists, will lead the line.

Rasmus Hojlund has six goals for United, with Bruno Fernandes joint-top on seven. Captain Ryan Giggs has netted 11 in Europe this season — only Lyon's Rayan Cherki (12) and Olivier Giroud's record 15 for Chelsea in 2018–19 have done better.

United's attack improved in the second-leg win over Athletic, with Mason Mount and Amad Diallo returning from injury. However, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Diogo Dalot are doubtful, while Lisandro Martinez and Joshua Zirkzee remain sidelined until next season.
