Manchester United Vs Tottenham Hotspur is a final of the Europa League to wait impatiently, and despite their national difficulties, they were comfortably the two best teams in the competition this season.
The spurs look strangely at ease in EuropeCompletely against their first league form, while the Ruben Amorim team remains the only undefeated team of European competition this season.
They dismissed Bilbao 7-1 Athletic on aggregate, with a pair of three goals victories. And while Thursday’s second stage flirted with the drama, Bilbao’s failure to find a second goal meant that Old Trafford never really panic.
In competition United Must win, Amorim has not taken any risks, appointing the same XI who had made the way to victory in Spain.
It was never going to be so easy this time – it just couldn’t get worse for Ernesto Valverde and his players as in the first leg. Even without the Williams brothers, Nico and Inaki excluded by an injury. Yes, this Inaki Williams – The one who played 251 consecutive games from the Liga. It turns out that it is not indestructible.
Bilbao tried to reverse a 3-0 deficit against a team that is considerably worth more than them. To put it in context, they did not spend twice as much as a player as United just to dismiss Erik Ten Hag and hire Amorim. There is your useless night statistics.

And yet, for all this disparity, any team outside has a little hope in Old Trafford these days. Bilbao tried. The problem? Finishing. Or the lack.
Alex Berenguer tried to find the postage stamp and overcome it. Mikel Jaucregizar, at just 21, succeeded in his only shot on Target – a beautiful long -range strike that Andéra Onana put in the net.
It was a brutal of 60 seconds for United: Bilbao marked to inject a little tension, and at the same time, 80 million pounds sterling Antony was folding in a free kick for the real Betis. The players of Manchester United become well, the second where they leave the Old Trafford orbit will never be funny.
Another current event is Alejandro Garnacho that runs simple in head. His large dink only added to discomfort, and the meaning went that Bilbao could well make fun of a second and make it correctly nervous.
But that didn’t happen.
The sublime equalizer of Mason Mount killed equality and Bilbao completely abandoned. Casemiro added another – a header, like in the first leg – just to rub it and make sure that the unbeaten record of United in Europe continues.
Rasmus Hojlund thought he had rounded it up with a Tap -in, but the icing was reserved for the second – and third in two games – an effort of the left foot somewhere near Salford. Listen, fair play.
Amorim submarines have done the damage. Mount a splint in bag. Amad Diallo has configured Hojlund. KOBBIE MAINEOO tightened in two catches in just 11 minutes. Beautiful work.
And so, we get the final we did not know that we needed: two giants broken in the Premier League, 15th against 16th, 35 combined defeats, not a single one on 40 points. And yet, they will meet in Bilbao with a place in the Champions League of next season and 100 million pounds sterling in play.
It’s ridiculous. But it is not undesirable. In this competition, they looked at the game. That’s all that matters.
The loser, however, will feel him like a ton of bricks. For United, it is a question of funding a reconstruction which would be almost impossible without football in the Champions League and this windfall.
For Spurs, this could decide the work of Postcoglou – even if they win it, it is not safe; If they don’t, it has finished. They could be better equipped to absorb the blow, but do not confuse this with a lack of hunger. It is a club that has always been flowing its first trophy since 2008, in case you have not been aware.
United resisted much better on the silverware front at that time, even when you remove the five years on Sir Alex Ferguson. Win in Bilbao, and they will have won a trophy in each of the last three seasons. Either way. Despite being a complete and total mess on and off the field.
Honestly, we did not expect it to take place in this way, but we are absolutely there for that and really excited for a football match where two teams are best to lose.
