Both Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou are under huge pressure to deliver in the Basque Country, having failed to meet expectations in the Premier League.

UEFA confirm decision on major change for Man Utd vs Spurs Europa League final
Manchester United will face Tottenham in the final of the Europa League in Bilbao later this month, though there are concerns over whether the Spanish city is big enough to host UEFA will not move the Europa League final from Bilbao despite concerns over the size of the San Mames stadium. The Spanish city won the right to host this year's event way back in 2021. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will be the two teams to fight it out to lift the trophy. United won this competition in 2017, while the last time Tottenham lifted a European trophy was 1984. The Red Devils scuppered Athletic Bilbao's hopes of playing a final in their own stadium at the semi-final stage. Ruben Amorim's side won 3-0 in the first leg in Spain, before claiming a 4-1 victory in the second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday. Spurs meanwhile avoided the embarrassment of losing to Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt, following up a 3-1 in the first leg with a 2-0 victory in the return fixture on Thursday night. That set the stage for an all-Premier League final, to be held on 18 May. But given the supporter base of the two clubs, concerns had been raised over whether Bilbao would be big enough to host the final. According to the Independent, UEFA have rubbished those concerns and there is 'no chance' of the final being moved to an English venue. The San Mames has an official capacity of 53,289. Demand for tickets from the two finalists' supporters will be far higher than what both teams will be allocated. Both United and Spurs will have an allocation of 15,000 tickets, with a further 11,000 up for general sale and the remainder ringfenced for hospitality and sponsors. Previous all-English European finals have all been played at their original hosts, including Chelsea's Champions League win over Manchester City in 2021 (Porto), Liverpool's defeat of Spurs in the same competition in 2019 (Madrid) and the Blues' win over Arsenal in the Europa League in 2019 (Baku). Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is keen to take on United. He said: "It's going to upset a lot of people isn't it. The debate's now raging. The latest one is that neither of us will be able to get a trophy if we win, they're just going to take a team photo because we're not worthy. "I mean, who cares if we're struggling in the league? If it's so easy to get to a final, then why doesn't everyone who finishes in the top three do it? It's a separate thing. It's got nothing to do with league form. I think both us and Manchester United have earned the right to be there." Amorim meanwhile has insisted anything other than winning the final will be a failure. He said: 'I'm stressed already because of the final, because if you don't win it, in the end, it's nothing. So, we are happy to be there. Let's see. "I think it's going to be a really good game. A little bit emotional because both teams are struggling a lot in the Premier League and want to win something. Two teams who play in the same league and know each other. "It means a lot, not just to us but also for Tottenham. It means a lot, not just for me but also for Ange [Postecoglou], after this season. It's a massive game and I know it's going to be tough for the people in Bilbao because they wanted to play in the final at home."

Will Marcus Rashford and Erik ten Hag get medals if Man Utd win Europa League?
Manchester United could end one of the worst seasons in their history by lifting a trophy after reaching the Europa League final. United came from behind to thump Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at Old Trafford on Thursday night, winning their semi-final tie 7-1 on aggregate. It sets up an all-Premier League European final after Tottenham -themselves enduring a torrid season – defeated Bodo/Glimt 5-1 on aggregate. Though it has been an extremely poor campaign, winning silverware would relieve some pressure off head coach Ruben Amorim and his players. There has been a great deal of change at Old Trafford throughout the season, including Amorim replacing Erik ten Hag in the dugout, as well as the departures of high-profile players Marcus Rashford and Antony in January. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. And that has lead to an interesting question: If United were to beat Spurs at the final in Bilbao and win the Europa League, will Ten Hag and any players who left in January receive winners' medals? The Dutch manager oversaw the Red Devils' first three Europa League league phase games – draws against Twente, Porto and Fenerbahce – before getting the sack in October. Additionally, Ruud van Nistelrooy was in charge for the 2-0 win over PAOK during his interim spell before Amorim's arrival. Rashford made six appearances in the competition, recording one goal and one assist, before being exiled from the first-team and the England international subsequently joined Aston Villa on loan. Antony and Tyrell Malacia both made four Europa League appearances before being loaned out to Real Betis and PSV respectively. In the Premier League, the title-winning club is given 40 medals to be distributed among players, coaching staff and club officials in whatever way they see fit, with players who make at least five appearances guaranteed to receive one. More Trending But there is no such rule regarding minimum appearances in UEFA competitions, with the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League winners to receive 50 goal medals, with 50 silver medals presented to the runners-up. It would seem then that whether the likes of Ten Hag and Rashford receive medals for their contributions is entirely up to Manchester United themselves. Antony is in a unique position as the winger has fired Betis to the final of the Conference League, where they'll face Chelsea, meaning he could well win two major European competitions in the same season. The Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham takes place at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao on May 21. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Man United reach Europa League final after dispatching Athletic Bilbao
Manchester United booked their berth in the Europa League final after a 4-1 semi-final win Athletic Bilbao on Thursday. Mason Mount scored twice to hand the hosts a 7-1 aggregate win and gave a chance for the beleaguered team to hoist some silverware this season. United, who are languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, kicked off the night with a comfortable cushion thanks to their stunning 3-0 victory a week earlier in Bilbao. But Mikel Jauregizar put Athletic on the score sheet in the 31st minute after a terrible clearance attempt by Harry Maguire landed at the Spaniard's feet and he unleashed a blistering shot from outside the box into the top corner. Mount drew United level in the 72nd minute, latching onto a pass from Leny Yoro before turning and firing past goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala. Casemiro headed home from a free kick seven minutes later, and Rasmus Hojlund put the game out of reach in the 85th when Amad Diallo cut the ball back from the byline into the six-yard box and the Dane tapped into an empty net. Mount completed his double in added time when he spotted Agirrezabala well out of his net and fired a shot from just inside the visitors' half. United, the Europa League champions in 2017, will play Tottenham Hotspur in an all-Premier League final on May 21 at Bilbao's San Mames Stadium.

Tottenham vs Manchester United: Europa League final prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds
Tottenham will face Manchester United in the Europa League final, as both clubs look to end largely miserable seasons on a high. Spurs are eyeing their first trophy since 2008 and attempting to deliver on Ange Postecoglou's promise to once again deliver silverware in his second season at a club. With his side sitting 16th in the Premier League even European glory might not be enough to save his job, but Spurs have the chance to end their long trophy drought and secure a return to the Champions League. They produced a professional second-leg display away from home to beat Bodo/Glimt 5-1 on aggregate and book their place in Bilbao. United, meanwhile, are 15th in the table and also need to win this competition if they are to be playing Champions League football next season. Ruben Amorim's side cruised to a 3-0 win in Spain against Athletic Bilbao in the first leg, before making a nervy start to the night at Old Trafford. However, United ran away with it after the break to win 7-1 on aggregate and set the stage for an all-Premier League showdown. Tottenham vs Man United is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Wednesday May 21, 2025. The match will take place at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports. Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website. Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport's live blog. Tottenham will be without James Maddison, after he picked up a knee injury to end his season. Lucas Bergvall is also expected to miss the rest of the campaign, having suffered an ankle injury. Spurs will hope to have captain Heung-min Son back, with a foot injury keeping the South Korean out for the last month, and it is otherwise a largely-fit squad for Postecoglou to choose from. Diogo Dalot faces a race against time to return from a calf injury for Man United, but Matthijs de Ligt is expected to have recovered from a knee issue in time for the final. Amorim will, however, remain without the likes of Joshua Zirkzee and Lisandro Martinez. It is difficult to know what to expect from these two clubs, who have been so poor domestically but then turned up when necessary in the Premier League. Spurs have won all three matches between the sides this season and have not lost to United since October 2022. However, Amorim's side have largely delivered in the big games, taking points off the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, and they can perhaps be relied upon to be more solid in what is set to be an incredibly tense final. Man United to win, 2-1. This will be the first time the two clubs have met in Europe since Manchester United's 4-3 aggregate win in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963. Tottenham wins: 57 Draw: 51 Man United wins: 96 Odds not yet available. Check back in soon.
