Manchester United face Tottenham in a winner-takes-all Europa League final in Bilbao on Wednesday evening, with both teams hoping that victory can rescue their respective disastrous seasons. The winner not only walks away with a piece of silverware, but a place in next season's Champions League.
United and Spurs are 16th and 17th respectively in the Premier League table and have put all their eggs in the European basket in recent weeks, largely writing off their domestic campaign in order to best prepare for this tie. Victory could grant Ruben Amorim or Ange Postecoglou a reprieve, with both coaches under considerable pressure going into the final.
The competition's showpiece promises to be a blockbuster affair between two sides desperate to make amends for their seasons and sign off the year in style, with updates live below from Express Sport...
