Ahead of the 2025 Europa League final, Man Utd has been strengthened by the return of a number of possible starters.
Ruben Amorim may find salvation on Wednesday night when Manchester United plays Tottenham Hotspur, a rival in the Premier League, in the Europa League final. Amorim has had a challenging start to life in Manchester.
The gifted Portuguese coach has contributed to a dismal domestic season, which will be further highlighted should his team lose in Bilbao, despite the fact that many have praised the candor with which he has spoken in the media.
GK: Andre Onana—Onana has played all but two of United’s Europa League games thus far, and has been thrust out of the limelight in recent weeks. He had a couple of quiet nights in the semifinal.
CB: Victor Lindelöf—Not ideal, but Lindelöf performed well enough against Athletic Club to warrant a start in the final in Matthijs de Ligt’s absence. If Diogo Dalot is fit to start, expect Noussair Mazraoui to drop into the back three at the Swede’s expense
CB: Harry Maguire—Maguire has the capacity to make the difference on Wednesday given his ability in the air. In what’s projected to be a tight and cagey final, the English defender’s set-piece threat could prove key.
CB: Leny Yoro—The young French defender is back in training ahead of the final after picking up a knock against West Ham 10 days ago. He now seems likely to be included in the manager’s XI on Wednesday.
RWB: Noussair Mazraoui—Mazraoui is a shoo-in to start, but where will depend on Dalot’s status. The Portuguese full-back is expected to be fit for the final, but Amorim may use him as a weapon off the bench.
CM: Casemiro—The former Real Madrid star has done a lot of winning throughout his career, and he’s previously stepped up on the big occasion for the Red Devils. Casemiro scored in United’s victory over Newcastle in the 2023 Carabao Cup final.
