United were left chasing the match against Tottenham after Brennan Johnson broke the deadlock — and secured the eventual winner — in the first half of the Europa League tie.
Brennan Johnson’s opener was helped in by Luke Shaw and a scrambling Andre Onana was unable to keep the ball out of the United net on Wednesday evening.
Ruben Amorim’s men were unable to climb back into the tie and the United could not find the crucial equaliser before the full-time whistle at the San Mames Stadium.
Tottenham’s 1-0 win over United ensured that the Europa League trophy is heading to north London and capped off a disastrous 2024-25 season for the Red Devils.
Ruben Amorim will end the season without major silverware as United manager and the Red Devils currently languish in 16th place in the Premier League table.
United will now be without European football for the 2025-26 season at Old Trafford and the Red Devils have missed out on getting back into the Champions League.
What were Man Utd fans saying about Casemiro after the 1-0 Europa League final defeat to Tottenham in Bilbao?
Casemiro played the full 90 minutes against Tottenham and the former Real Madrid star struggled to make an impact for Manchester United at the San Mames Stadium.
Ruben Amorim deployed the 33-year-old Brazilian midfielder alongside Bruno Fernandes, who also proved equally as ineffective against Spurs in the 1-0 defeat.
