Manchester United’s preparations for the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur have entered the final stretch, with Ruben Amorim overseeing high-intensity sessions at Carrington.
The Red Devils will fly out to Bilbao soon, where they’ll complete one final training session before taking on Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs in what promises to be a gripping all-English final.
Amorim has been tight-lipped about his tactical approach, but insiders suggest United will look to exploit Spurs’ high defensive line with pace on the counter.

Yet amid all the build-up, attention briefly shifted to a figure no longer in the squad — but still making waves from the sidelines.
Marcus Rashford, who left Old Trafford in January under a cloud of controversy, has broken his silence ahead of United’s biggest match of the season.
The 27-year-old forward joined Aston Villa on loan after falling out of favour with Ruben Amorim, but his spell in Birmingham was marred by injury.
Marcus Rashford made 17 appearances for Villa, scoring four goals and notching six assists before suffering a hamstring tear last month — an injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season and possibly ended his time in claret and blue.

With speculation mounting over whether United will reintegrate him or sell him outright this summer, Rashford has sparked fresh intrigue by commenting on an official club Instagram post.
Replying to a matchday build-up photo on Instagram, the England international simply wrote: “Good luck guys,” followed by a sparkling stars emoji — a brief but telling message that has sent fans into a frenzy.
His return to Manchester United for pre-season is expected to be tense, with talks between player and club officials scheduled once the current campaign concludes.
It was reported that Rashford is pushing for a move to Barcelona who is seen as his dream destination.
For now, though, Rashford remains a looming shadow over United’s European ambitions — present in spirit, if not in the squad.
