Two English clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, will be on parade in the finals of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, 21 May 2025, at the Estadio de San Mamés at 8 PM, to determine who will be crowned champions of the 2024/2025 UEFA Europa League campaign. Kick Off Nigeria editor Nwosu Chigozie provides his analyses ahead of the upcoming final.
Tottenham vs Manchester United
Unbeaten in UEFA tournaments so far this season, coach Rúben Amorim and his Red Devil army will be on the front foot in the final with their eyes set on lifting silverware after a disappointing campaign in the English domestic league.
The North London-based club, Tottenham Hotspur, who reached the final after a rigorous Europa League campaign, will be all out to seize their only hope of ending the season with a trophy and upholding their gaffer’s record of winning silverware in his second season at any club since the beginning of his coaching career.

Recent Form: Tottenham Hotspur
After beating Norwegian champions FK Bodø/Glimt over two legs to book a place in the final, Tottenham have failed to win a single domestic league game. This poor form has seen them slump to 17th place in the league table.
Recent Form: Manchester United
Just like Tottenham, Manchester United have failed to record a win in the English domestic league since securing their spot in the final. They have lost both matches following their triumph over Spanish side Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals.
Player to Watch: Noussair Mazraoui (Manchester United)
The rock-solid Moroccan defender, who has featured in Manchester United’s last five matches, will be eager to lift the prestigious UEFA Europa League trophy. His defensive presence will be vital as United aim to end their losing streak against Tottenham.
Player to Watch: Dominic Solanke (Tottenham)
The prolific goal scorer will be looking to have the game of his life against Manchester United in the final. If fit and included in the squad for the trip to Spain, Solanke is one player not to be underestimated. He possesses the pace, technical skill, and instinct to dismantle any backline.
