Europa League 2024-2025: Tottenham-Manchester United, the likely lineups

Wednesday, May 21 at 9 p.m. at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao Tottenham and Manchester United face off in an all-English Europa League final. The situation of both teams in the league is dire, with a year to forget for both. The Red Devils occupy the sixteenth position, while Spurs even the seventeenth, just a step above the clubs that will play in the Championship next year.

Ange Postecoglou, coach of Tottenham, is expected to confirm the 4-3-3 used for much of the season. In front of Vicario, Van de Ven is ready to pair with Cristian Romero, while on the flanks, Pedro Porro on the right and Udogie on the left. In the middle of the field, the three-man line should be formed by former Juventus man Bentancur, with Sarr and Bissouma on either side. In attack, alongside the lone point Solanke, Brennan Johnson and Korean Son should act.

Ruben Amorim, on the other hand, should opt for a 3-4-3. In front of Onana the 3-man defense should consist of Lindelof, ahead of former Lille Yoro, with Maguire and Shaw alongside him, who takes the place of the injured De Ligt. In the middle of the field, the Portuguese coach could rely on Ugarte and Casemiro, with Dorgu and Mazraoui on the flanks. Captain Bruno Fernandes on the left, Garnacho on the right, favored over Diallo and Hojlund in the center of the attack.
