⚔️ Match Preview: Tottenham vs Manchester United
This season, Tottenham Hotspur have had the upper hand over Manchester United, winning all three of their meetings across the Premier League and EFL Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur – Struggling in the League, Thriving in Europe
Despite a promising fifth-place finish last season, Spurs have plummeted to 17th in the Premier League, suffering 21 defeats. Injuries and inconsistency have derailed Ange Postecoglou’s campaign, and rumors suggest this final could determine his future at the club.
However, in Europe, it’s been a different story. The North London side topped a tough Europa League run by knocking out the likes of AZ Alkmaar, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bodo/Glimt en route to the final.
Manchester United – European Focus Under Amorim
After Erik ten Hag was sacked in November due to poor league form and a dismal start in Europe, Ruben Amorim took charge. While United remain 16th in the Premier League, they’ve enjoyed a remarkable Europa League turnaround, progressing to the final after a strong knockout stage performance.
United come into the final winless in their last eight Premier League games – their worst run in history – but have shown resilience in Europe, keeping their hopes of silverware alive.
