One of the largest clubs in the world has reached the Europa League final. Furnished with among the biggest budgets in the game, in a year when their transfer outlay exceeded £230m (€273m), they started Europa League as arguably the favourites, finished third in the group stage and are the only unbeaten side in all three European competitions.
It makes it sound simple. Manchester United being Manchester United, it has not been. The side 16th in the Premier League face the team in 17th in the Bilbao showpiece. United were 21st in the Europa League when they sacked Erik ten Hag.
