Europa League Final: Manchester United vs Tottenham – Official Lineups Revealed!
The stage is set for the 2025 UEFA Europa League Final, and the starting XIs are now locked in. Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur in what promises to be a tactical and emotional showdown in Europe’s second-biggest club competition.
🟥 Manchester United XI (3-4-2-1)
Manager: Ruben Amorim
United fans are buzzing to see a bold attacking trio: Mason Mount and Amad Diallo supporting Rasmus Højlund up top. Captain Bruno Fernandes anchors the midfield with Casemiro, while Andre Onana holds it down between the sticks.
➡ Notable picks:
Leny Yoro starts in defense — a huge nod to youth and future.
No Alejandro Garnacho or Mainoo in the starting XI, but they’re ready on the bench.
⚪ Tottenham XI (4-3-3)
Manager: Ange Postecoglou
With flair players Maddison, Kulusevski, and Bergvall out, Ange goes for brute midfield power. Expect a rugged engine room with Bissouma, Bentancur, and Sarr.
➡ In attack, Richarlison pairs with Dominic Solanke, while Heung-Min Son starts on the bench — a strategic weapon?
🧠 OPINION: Amorim’s Risk vs Ange’s Grit — Who Wins the Chess Match?
Manchester United's setup feels slick and experimental — Mount and Diallo as dual creators behind a central striker is a fresh look that could unlock Spurs’ backline if the tempo is right. Amorim is clearly leaning into fluid attacking triangles and technical supremacy.
Meanwhile, Postecoglou has stripped the tactics to essentials: strength, pressing, and presence. With Maddison missing, this is a gritty, functional Spurs side — one that wants to win ugly if needed.
But can power trump poetry?
🔥 Players to Watch:
Rasmus Højlund – Looking to etch his name into United history.
Leny Yoro – A teenage defender on the biggest stage — cool or cracked?
Dominic Solanke – Spurs’ surprise factor, could be the difference if overlooked.
Heung-Min Son – Game-changer waiting in the wings.
💬 Fan Take:
This final is more than a match — it’s a clash of philosophies, cultures, and ambitions. United want to reclaim European relevance under Amorim. Spurs want to taste continental glory after years of "almosts."
