Man Utd, Tottenham and Chelsea fans can watch their teams for FREE in Europa and Conference League finals
SPURS, Manchester United and Chelsea fans are set to be able to watch their sides' European finals for free this month. Broadcaster TNT Sports is understood to be planning to make all three of this season's Uefa Finals available to all fans through its Discovery Plus channel. 5 5 5 While a formal announcement is yet to be made, Sun Sport understands TNT will repeat last season's model for the three games. It means the all-Prem Europa League showdown between United and Tottenham in Bilbao on May 21, Chelsea's Conference League climax with Real Betis in Wroclaw seven days later and the Munich Champions League Final between Inter Milan and PSG can all be watched by fans without a TNT subscription. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is under so much pressure he could even be axed if he triumphs. And United counterpart Ruben Amorim says victory for his team is the least his club's fans deserve - after admitting he must get better at his job. It comes as the English top flight could have a record NINE teams competing in Europe next season. That would smash the previous best of five from 2017-18, which saw United miss out on the top four but win the Europa League. The Prem has been awarded five Champions League spots next season - thanks to performing so well under Uefa's coefficient rankings. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 5 The key achievement in being rated so high was Arsenal beating Real Madrid in their quarter-final first leg. The Gunners went on to exit against Paris Saint-Germain in the semis - with Emirates boss Mikel Arteta sparking a mixed response for claiming his team were the best in the competition. 5 Arsenal's Real success meant the Prem's Europa and Conference League places would now be filled by the sides finishing sixth and seventh. And they will down a spot further - if Manchester City beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. Spurs and United are far closer to the bottom of the table than the teams challenging for European places. But whoever wins the Europa League final will book a Champions League place.
