Manchester United’s disappointing league season may have left fans underwhelmed, but the upcoming Europa League final offers one last chance to end the campaign on a high.
Ruben Amorim has already outlined that lifting the trophy could serve as a psychological turning point heading into next season.
Spurs are on the verge of winning their first silverware since 2008 and United could be lifting their second Europa League trophy after their 2017 victory against Ajax in the final.

Meanwhile, TNT Sports is preparing a heavy-hitting line-up for the all-English showdown in Bilbao, with familiar United names like Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes set to feature.
Tottenham’s inclusion adds intrigue, with Gareth Bale and Glenn Hoddle set to bring the north London perspective.
But it’s not just the pitch where there’s been a shake-up — one of United’s most iconic figures is making a surprise move off it.
According to the MEN, Roy Keane is set to appear on a different broadcast network for the first time on Wednesday night, joining CBS Sports in the United States as a pundit for the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Roy Keane, known for his fiery opinions and uncompromising analysis, will team up with fellow Sky Sports regulars Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards.

Keane’s appearance marks his first punditry stint with the US network and signals an expansion in his media presence, having previously been exclusive to Sky Sports and ITV Sport for Premier League, FA Cup and international coverage.
The Europa League final, taking place at the iconic San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, is a high-stakes affair for both United and Spurs, with Champions League qualification on the line for the winner.
Despite likely finishing a dismal 16th and 17th in the Premier League respectively, both sides have found redemption in Europe, and Keane’s presence only adds further intrigue to an already dramatic occasion.
CBS will broadcast the match live to its American audience, with Anita Jones on presenting duties and United goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel also on-site in his regular role as pitchside correspondent.
Keane’s move across the pond may be temporary, but it certainly adds a fresh twist to Wednesday night’s coverage — and United fans tuning in from abroad will be treated to a familiar face with an unfiltered voice.
Last year, Keane hinted at plans to move abroad, but for now, that doesn’t appear to be happening.
As the Reds prepare for a last shot at glory, Keane’s passionate presence in the studio will no doubt reflect the intensity expected on the pitch.
