Manchester United can salvage their season on Wednesday, May 21 when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
Destined to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table—the club's worst showing since the league's formation in 1992—winning the Europa League is their only shot at playing in European competition next season.
Much has been made of either Man Utd or Spurs qualifying for the Champions League based on the result, but both teams are focused on lifting the trophy in Bilbao, Spain. The trophy will symbolise a season redeemed by European glory. For Man Utd, it could be a mark of progress under Ruben Amorim after he was appointed midseason. The club chose to abandon the direction they were heading under Erik ten Hag and place faith in the Portuguese coach. If he can win the competition, it'll be a big boost in confidence at the club.
Though, the club's history in the Europa League is short. It's a competition they've won just once. And, their only win wasn't the most recent time they've qualified for the final.
