Tottenham and Manchester United Clash in High-Stakes Europa League Final Tonight

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are set to face off tonight, May 21, in the UEFA Europa League final at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time.

Despite both teams struggling in the Premier League—Tottenham in 17th place and United just above in 16th—the final presents a major opportunity to salvage their seasons and secure Champions League qualification.

Spurs legend Gary Lineker, speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, backed his former club to lift the trophy, though he warned the match could be tight enough to go into extra time.

Tottenham will be without several key players including James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall due to injury. Manchester United, on the other hand, also face fitness issues, missing the likes of Lisandro Martínez and Joshua Zirkzee.

This marks the first time in 17 years that Tottenham have reached a major European final, and for United, it’s a chance to add to their 2017 Europa League triumph.

Both managers will be under pressure to deliver, as the outcome could reshape their respective futures and boost morale ahead of next season.
