Europa League Final: It's All or Nothing for Man United and Tottenham
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will play the Europa League final on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.
Both teams have endured poor Premier League seasons, with United in 16th place and Spurs just one spot behind in 17th after a combined 39 losses.
United enters the final unbeaten in Europe and boasts captain Bruno Fernandes and experienced Casemiro, while Spurs are managed by Ange Postecoglou, seeking to end a 17-year trophy drought.
The winner will claim a European trophy and a financial reward potentially over $134 million, which could aid squad rebuilding for United but will not solve deeper club issues.
While the final offers relief for the winner, it also triggers fresh scrutiny for the loser, with Spurs’ Postecoglou’s future uncertain despite hopes the trophy could be a turning point.
With sophistication and luck: Tottenham Hotspur wins the English duel for the European League title against Manchester United. The club, which is only in the Premier League Tables 17., saves a messed up season. Without the top striker Harry Kane, who switched to FC Bayern, it is enough for the first trophy in 17 years.
Manchester United, 16th of the Premier League, and Tottenham, 17th, are looking to forget a catastrophic season. They meet this Wednesday for a 100% English Europa League final.
