There is now just a week to go until Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. The two sides might be sitting just above the Premier League relegation zone, but one of them will play in the Champions League next season when they win in Bilbao.
Ruben Amorim does not believe Europa League success would be enough to salvage their dreadful season, though he does appreciate it would be a huge boost to the club and their tight financial situation. United budgeted for the summer window with the expectation they won't be in Europe next season and those plans could quickly change if they enjoy success next week.
United are confident in their pursuit of Matheus Cunha regardless of what happens against Spurs, though Liam Delap will reportedly only join the club if they qualify for the Champions League. Here is a look at how they could line up next season if they win the Europa League.
United will sign a backup goalkeeper this summer and give Onana another season to prove himself.
