‘We may well live to regret this': Pints at Belfast bar could drop as low as 70p for Europa League final
The popular drinking spot are bringing back the historical prices of stout based on when both sides last lifted a European trophy.
If Manchester United are ahead, the prices of the bar's Guinness will be £4.20, as they were in 2017 when United lifted the Europa League.
However, if Spurs take the lead, pints will instead reflect 1984 rate from the London side's UEFA Cup win and will therefore cost 70p.
The bar's stout will also remain at the same rate depending on what team ultimately wins with the offer standing 'until the keg runs dry'.
"We may well live to regret this,' the American Bar said in a social media post.
"When Man Utd last won the Europa League in 2017, a pint of stout would set you back about £4.20. Back in 1984 when Spurs last tasted European glory, a pint cost a paltry 70p.
"So, for one night only, depending on who's ahead, the price of our Guinness will be decided by whatever side is winning. We're putting on a fresh keg the moment the ref kicks off and when it's done, we're done.

"Whatever one of the two clubs go on to lift the trophy, our pints of Guinness will cost that until the keg runs dry. Let us be the first to say: 'Come on you Spurs'."
Several high profile figures, including golfing star Rory McIlroy, will be in attendance for the 8pm kick-off in Bilbao, Spain's San Mamés stadium.

Manchester United handed triple injury boost ahead of new season
Manchester United play their first Premier League game of the season against Arsenal in two weeks and Ruben Amorim could soon have three injured players back in his plans Lisandro Martinez is closing in on a Manchester United return ahead of the new season. The Argentine defender has been ruled out since February with a serious knee injury. But he is edging towards a return to the side, with further progress made during United's pre-season tour in the United States. Martinez is continuing his rehabilitation with his teammates in Chicago as he aims to return to the pitch. The Manchester Evening News suggest that the defender is set to resume light training as part of an individual programme. He is not, however, ready to train alongside his teammates just yet. That means Martinez could still be sidelined for United's Premier League opener against Arsenal in just over a fortnight. Speaking ahead of that game, Martinez said: 'The club is obviously going through a process of change. Since Sir Alex Ferguson 's departure, they haven't found a manager who hits the right note. Ten Hag did a remarkable job at Ajax, which is why he went to United, and thanks to him, I joined the club as well. "It's like everything in life: you take a gamble, and sometimes it works out well, sometimes it doesn't. I think that, like any club, if something isn't working, it needs to be changed. It's necessary to analyse what's working and what isn't and make changes accordingly because that's how great clubs operate. Manchester is one of the best clubs in the world. "Now Ruben Amorim has arrived with very good energy and willingness. I believe he will make the necessary changes. Without a doubt change is needed, because where we ended up in the table over the last two seasons is unacceptable." As Martinez steps up his recovery, Andre Onana and Joshua Zirkzee are both back training after their own respective issues. Onana has been struggling with a hamstring strain, while Zirkzee picked up a slight issue at the start of pre-season. But both have returned to the pitch and will step up their respective recoveries over the coming week. Speaking about his issue, Zirkzee said: "I've got a small injury but it shouldn't take too long to recover now. I've got great physios working with me every day. "It's not a serious problem. It's pre-season so unlike last season where I wanted to push myself to be back for the final, obviously now I just want to be there for the start of the season." United take on Everton on Sunday before their final pre-season game against Italian side Fiorentina in just over a week's time. They then have a further eight days to fine-tune any aspects of Ruben Amorim's tactics ahead of the season opener against Arsenal.

Long-term Sesko or short-term Watkins?
Manchester United "can't keep taking punts" on young players with potential, says ESPN senior writer Mark Red Devils have invested in talented forward prospects like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in recent seasons, but these players are yet to show significant returns for the appear to be approaching this transfer window differently with the signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo who both already have Premier League question is whether they will continue this through pursuing experience in Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins or if they will opt to move for 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig."United over recent years have taken too many gambles on young players," Ogden told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. Rasmus Hojlund being one and Joshua Zirkzee being another. They had a very, very young strike force last year and it could barely score a goal."It is a dilemma, though. They go for a guy [Watkins] who is 29, you probably get a season or two out of him, but if he has a good season and gets them back in the Champions League then it is a return on the investment, however, I think United's view is they would rather play the long game."They have signed two players in their mid-20s in Cunha and Mbeumo and I think with Sesko, the worry is that he could be another Rasmus Hojlund. Although, I feel Sesko is more developed and he has had more time in a top league than Hojlund. He basically had one season at Atalanta, whereas Sesko has had a couple of years in the Bundesliga, plus Champions League experience when playing for Salzburg, so he is the better option."What I think United need is a proven, seasoned goalscorer, but their view is that the investment in Sesko is a better, more long-term option. However, you need to win today and tomorrow rather than just the long-term and United can't keep taking punts for four or five years down the line, they need to be winning now."Listen to the full discussion on BBC SoundsFind your club and sign up for news alerts
