Latest Tottenham vs MU team news
While Amorim fielded many key players against Chelsea to maintain their match fitness, Postecoglou rested many of his mainstays against Aston Villa.
Therefore, even though Antonin Kinsky played well against Villa, Guglielmo Vicario will return to the starting lineup. Rodrigo Bentancur, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, and Pedro Porro will also be making a comeback.
Captain Son Heung-min has just returned from a foot injury and could continue to start. However, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, Timo Werner, and Radu Dragusin will all be absent from the final.
Solanke – who will be supported by Son – will be the spearhead of the attack, with 5 goals and 4 assists in the Europa League this season, and has scored in all 4 of his most recent encounters with Man Utd.
On the opposing side, Bruno Fernandes is leading the top scorer list with 7 goals, while Rasmus Hojlund and several other players have 6 goals.
Only Rayan Cherki of Lyon (12) has contributed to more goals than Bruno (11) in the Europa League this season. For English teams, only Olivier Giroud (15 goals for Chelsea in the 2018-19 season) has had more contributions in a single season.
Mason Mount and Amad Diallo – who have just returned from injury – both impressed against Bilbao. However, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Diogo Dalot remain doubtful; Lisandro Martinez and Joshua Zirkzee will be out for the rest of the season.

Latest football match prediction: Tottenham vs MU
Despite a disappointing Premier League season, Tottenham still have a chance to finish the 2024-25 season with a major trophy they've been craving for the past 17 years.
Spurs have won the UEFA Cup – the predecessor of the Europa League – twice, in 1972 and 1984. If they win in Spain, they will become the second English club after Liverpool to win this second-tier European competition three times.
The last time Tottenham reached a European cup final was a 0-2 defeat to Liverpool in the 2018-19 Champions League. However, after progressing through the group stage under the new format and advancing through the knockout rounds, they are just one win away from realizing manager Ange Postecoglou's confident assertion.
Despite facing immense pressure over the past few months, "Big Ange" – the first Australian manager to lead a team to a European final – has stated that he always wins a title in his second year at each club he manages, and Tottenham are on track to extend that streak.
They secured their place in the final after a dominant 5-1 victory over the Norwegian surprise package Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals, with Dominic Solanke scoring in both legs.
Finishing fourth in their group – one point behind Manchester United – the London club successively eliminated AZ Alkmaar, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bodo. They have won 9 of their 14 Europa League matches this season – the highest number Spurs have ever achieved in a European campaign.
However, their form in the Premier League is quite the opposite: Tottenham are currently 17th with only one game remaining and have lost 21 matches.
Most recently, Spurs lost 0-2 to Aston Villa last Friday night, but they may regain confidence from their recent clashes with Man Utd.
This season, Tottenham have won all three of their encounters with the Red Devils: a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in the Premier League, followed by a 4-3 win in the League Cup quarter-finals, and a 1-0 home win in February.
In fact, Man Utd have not won in their last six meetings with Tottenham in all competitions.
The only previous encounter between the two teams in European competition was in the 1963-64 Cup Winners' Cup, when Man Utd overcame Spurs with a 4-3 aggregate score in the quarter-finals.
While Tottenham are seeking their first European title since 1984, Man Utd are aiming to repeat their 2017 Europa League victory, when they beat a youthful Ajax side featuring Andre Onana and Matthijs de Ligt.
Four years later, Man Utd reached their eighth European final – only Liverpool had more (15) among English clubs – but they lost to Villarreal on penalties, marking their third defeat in their last four finals.
Man Utd secured their place in this year's final after dashing Athletic Bilbao's hopes of playing at home with a 3-0 victory in the first leg in the Basque Country, followed by a 4-1 win in the second leg at Old Trafford.
Earlier, they overcame Lyon in a dramatic quarter-final match: leading by two goals in the first half of the second leg, falling behind by two goals in extra time, then scoring two more goals to equalize the aggregate score and finally winning a nail-biting 7-6 victory thanks to a last-minute goal from Harry Maguire.
Having scored 12 goals in their last three matches, Man Utd have now scored a total of 35 goals in the Europa League this season – only three teams have ever scored more in a single season: Mönchengladbach 1972-73 (36), Porto 2010-11 (37), and Chelsea 2018-19 (36).
Furthermore, Ruben Amorim's team – despite inconsistent performances in the domestic league – remains unbeaten in Europe this season, and could become the fourth team to win the Europa League without losing a single match in the tournament's history.
If he wins the trophy, Amorim will be the third Man Utd manager to win a major title in his first season, after Mourinho (2016-17) and Ten Hag (2022-23).
However, Friday's 0-1 defeat to Chelsea marked Man Utd's 18th Premier League loss of the season, leaving them just one place above Spurs with a one-point gap – and securing Champions League qualification is now just a win away at Bilbao.
