Tottenham, Manchester United Face Off Europa League Final Amid Premier League Struggles

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are set to face each other in the UEFA Europa League final, despite both clubs struggling in the Premier League this season, with United sitting 15th and Spurs 16th. United manager Ruben Amorim and forward Rasmus Hojlund both expressed respect for Tottenham, anticipating a high-stakes, 'all or nothing' match. While United secured a commanding 7-1 aggregate semi-final win over Athletic Club, warnings from former players urge caution against complacency. Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, have shown resilience in Europe despite poor domestic form, with tactical adjustments helping them advance, and a victory would end a 17-year trophy drought and secure Champions League qualification. Debate surrounds whether Tottenham should be allowed Champions League entry via the Europa League, given their low league standing, but pundit Gary Neville maintains Arsenal have had a better overall season regardless of Tottenham's potential Europa League success. The final, held at Estadio de San Mames in Bilbao on May 21, promises an intense contest with significant implications for both clubs’ futures.
