Key Returns and Big Absences as Amorim and Postecoglou Set Their Sides for Bilbao Showdown
As Manchester United and Tottenham prepare to face off in tonight’s Europa League final in Bilbao, the predicted lineups reveal a mix of returning stars and notable absentees for both sides.
Manchester United are expected to welcome back Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee from injury, though manager Ruben Amorim has hinted their minutes may be limited. The Red Devils will line up in a 4-3-3 formation with Onana in goal, while the attacking trio of Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund will lead the charge.
Tottenham’s predicted XI shows Ange Postecoglou opting for his familiar 4-2-3-1 system, with captain Heung-min Son spearheading the attack after recovering from a foot injury. The Spurs midfield has been decimated by injuries, forcing starts for Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma as the only fit senior options.
Key Talking Points:
- United’s defensive boost:Â Returns of Yoro and Dalot strengthen a backline missing De Ligt
- Spurs’ midfield crisis:Â Missing Maddison, Kulusevski and Bergvall limits creativity
- Fitness concerns:Â Both managers may need to manage minutes of recently recovered players
The final kicks off at 20:00 BST at San Mamés Stadium, with Champions League qualification and European glory on the line for two clubs desperate to salvage disappointing seasons.
