Europa League final

Tottenham ended a 17-year trophy drought as Brennan Johnson's first-half goal secured a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final. 

The result delivers on Ange Postecoglou’s promise of silverware in his second season. 

In contrast, United’s defeat compounds pressure on Ruben Amorim, whose side face Aston Villa in their final league game after a dismal campaign. Despite support from the club's hierarchy, Amorim's tactical choices are under scrutiny, particularly the decision to start Mason Mount over Alejandro Garnacho. With Bruno Fernandes largely anonymous, United offered little creativity and never looked likely to recover once they fell behind.

History of Manchester United in European finals

GM Super News reports on how United’s storied history in European competition is woven into the club's DNA. Especially the finals.

From the heartbreak of Munich to the triumph of Wembley, from the drama of Barcelona to the rainy glory of Moscow.

Team News

It has been said that is Bergvall unavailable for Spurs but Sarr will be fit. Yoro, Dalot and Zirkzee are all fit for Manchester United. 

A goal in the final would be a great way to end Zirkzee's first season at the club. He has gone from being booed to become something of a cult hero at Old Trafford.

Could Casemiro be key?

Casemiro has really shone in Europe for Manchester United. Despite this, United will be aware that you can't leave him exposed. 

Physically, United have dominated most of their rivals in the Europa League and they're the only unbeaten team out of the teams who entered the three main European competitions in September.

A pivotal summer begins for Manchester United Manchester United enter the summer on the back of a bruising Europa League final defeat and one of their worst-ever Premier League campaigns.  Author | Liam C Under new head coach Rúben Amorim, the club faces a defining transfer window, one that could shape their trajectory for the next few years. Maybe even the next decade. Amorim has not shied away from speaking plainly about the scale of the task ahead. United are in urgent need of a reset, and this time, they cannot afford missteps. If the Portuguese coach is to succeed with his preferred 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 formation, the club must fully support him in the market. So where should they begin? Signing Matheus Cunha would be a strong statement of intent. The Brazilian forward was Wolverhampton Wanderers’ standout performer last season, combining work rate with end product. More importantly, he could help solve United’s long-standing attacking problems. United have struggled for goals a...
