‘We may well live to regret this': Pints at Belfast bar could drop as low as 70p for Europa League final
Both sides will take to the pitch in Bilbao later for the competition's all-English finale, with the American Bar in Sailor Town making a special price offer to fans watching in the pub – depending on who is winning.
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.

Rashford emerges as shock target for Italian giants amid Man Utd quandary
Marcus Rashford appears to have little future at Manchester United and the forward could potentially be in line for a blockbuster move to Italy ahead of next season Italian giants Inter Milan could make a move for Marcus Rashford after their Champions League humiliation. The Manchester United forward is on the lookout for his next club, with his future at Old Trafford less than certain. Rashford was unceremoniously cut from the squad by Ruben Amorim and joined Aston Villa on loan in January. The Midlands side have a £40m option to buy him this summer, albeit they have yet to activate that. A number of potential other suitors have emerged for Rashford's services and it appears that there is now interest from Italy. According to The Sun, Inter Milan have added the United forward to their summer shortlist as they aim to recover from their dismal Champions League final appearance. The Serie A giants were thumped 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in Munich. Club chiefs apparently believe that Rashford could be a perfect addition as they aim to rebuild the squad in the wake of that defeat. It is also said his signing would go a long way to getting fans back onside. Inter are apparently exploring a long-term loan move, albeit United would prefer a permanent deal. A source as quoted by The Sun said: 'Marcus is open-minded to a move abroad, and a fresh start. Lots of players have made the move from the Premier League to Serie A in recent years and performed very well. That's why the idea of such a switch excites both the player and Inter.' Away from Inter, Barcelona have also been credited with an interest in Rashford. Sporting director Deco was recently asked about a potential move but claimed work needed to be done behind the scenes before the Catalan side could consider adding new signings to their squad. 'We have been focusing on renewing contracts, after that, we'll discuss players to come," Deco said to BBC Sport. "Of course, these two players [Rashford and Luis Diaz], like you mentioned, they are good but have contracts in their clubs, so we won't speak because it's not fair. 'But when you decide to go to the market, for sure, we find some names. In my opinion, we don't need to bring many players. When I speak with the agents of the players, everyone wants to come or stay. 'So this is important. The image of the club is still good. We are proud because Barcelona is still such a big club, and the way we are playing football makes players want to come."

The inside story of Chelsea's £5m Jadon Sancho snub: Why the Blues wanted to sign him, the major stumbling block to a permanent deal and how they REALLY felt about the Man United flop
Chelsea are paying a £5million penalty so that Jadon Sancho will not play for them again. Unfortunate as it is for the loanee being returned to sender, that is the headline which will be remembered above all, even if there is more to this peculiar parting than that. Chelsea's agreement with United did not include any loan fee, the switch having been hurried over the line on last summer's deadline day when a deal sheet was submitted to the Premier League to give the clubs an additional two hours to complete the transfer after the 11pm cut-off.

Gary Neville delighted ‘star player' Bruno Fernandes is set to stay at Man Utd
The 30-year-old Portugal international has been the subject of speculation linking him with a £100million switch to Al Hilal, with the Saudi Pro League side reportedly prepared to pay him £700,000 per week. Though United did not comment when contacted by the PA news agency, Saudi sources have suggested the midfielder has decided not to make such a move at this stage of his career. That news would give head coach Ruben Amorim a huge lift as he tries to reshape the squad after a dismal season. United endured their worst finish of the Premier League era, finishing 15th, with Fernandes one of the few players to emerge with credit. Former United and England defender Neville told Sky Sports News: 'It's significant. 'I think that there was an element of this situation that meant United getting that level of money, for someone of Bruno's age, obviously, you couldn't say that it would have been a bad deal. 'But, on the other hand, Manchester United's star player – only player at times – for the last four, five, six years, has been Bruno Fernandes. He's so important. 'The fact that he wants to stay, the fact that he wants to go through this and come out the other side, because it would have been easy for him at the end of this season to say, 'Look, I'm done here', will endear him towards Manchester United fans even more. 'To turn that money down at a point where Manchester United are at their lowest ebb and say, 'No, I want to fight through this, I want to see it through the other side, I want to come out and achieve things,' I think it says a lot about him as a person, as a character. 'The club needs people who are going to run through a brick wall for them.' United have already made one move in the transfer market this summer by signing Brazil forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves. They are also being heavily linked with Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. Departures could include Jadon Sancho, although latest reports have suggested Chelsea are prepared to pay a penalty fee to escape an obligation to make his current loan permanent. Neville said: 'They need players who are going to come in and hit the ground running and Cunha and Mbeumo have got obviously Premier League experience. 'I know that Ruben Amorim has this system where he plays these two players in behind a striker. If those two players are Mbeumo and Cunha then Manchester United will at least be able to travel quickly from deep positions into attacking positions because they can both run. 'We know the likes of Sancho, (Marcus) Rashford, Antony, and probably (Alejandro) Garnacho are going to leave, so they need definitely players in those positions.'
