European finals need no additional narrative to provide gusto, but this one has some extra juice to it as Premier League foes Manchester United and Tottenham meet in the Europa League title contest on Wednesday.

United took a more adventurous route to the final, beating Real Sociedad before pulling off a spectacular comeback against Lyon and then comprehensively beating an Athletic Club side who'd been dreaming of a home European final. United curiously remain the only unbeaten side across European competition this season.

Manchester United are having another disastrous season but they ended 2023/24 with a trophy and could raise their game once again in Bilbao on Wednesday.
