Man Utd face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.
Today is the day. Manchester United have endured a dismal domestic season but know they can earn some redemption when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final tonight. Not only will one of the clubs end the season with a famous piece of silverware, they will also earn Champions League qualification and the riches that come with it.
Ruben Amorim has been handed a huge boost for the match with Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee all available for selection again. The United head coach has warned they will only have 'limited minutes' against Spurs, and he could name the same starting line up that lost to Chelsea last time out.
It means Victor Lindelof could keep his place in central defence, while Mason Mount could partner Amad Diallo in the two attacking midfield roles. Rasmus Hojlund is certain to lead the forward line, with Manuel Ugarte and Alejandro Garnacho both likely to be substitutes.

Lisandro Martinez sends message
Manchester United will be without just three senior players for the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao tonight. Matthijs de Ligt did not take part in the club's final training session at Carrington yesterday and instead did individual fitness work with a first-team coach.
The Dutch defender was not named in the travelling squad for the clash, but has made the trip to the Basque Country to support his teammates. There is also no place for teenage striker Chido Obi, who is ineligible to feature in European competition this season. He did train at Carrington earlier in the week but can't be registered to play in the match.
United's other absentee is defender Lisandro Martinez, who remains sidelined after he underwent surgery on an anterior cruciate ligament injury earlier in the year. There is still no specific timeframe on when the Argentine might return, though the rough guidance would be at least six months from when he suffered the setback in early February.
Martinez will hope to return to the United side with Champions League football to play and ahead of the Spurs match he sent a message of support to his teammates. The 27-year-old uploaded a video montage of his best bits from the Europa League campaign, and added the caption: All UNITED we're stronger! Come on, Red Devils, LET'S GO ALL OUT!!!! 👹❤️ "
