Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is looking forward to the 2025 UEFA Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao with a clear sense of confidence, despite his team’s worrying domestic form.

While United has excelled in Europe, securing their spot in the final with a dominant 7-1 aggregate victory over Athletic Club and a dramatic quarterfinal win against Lyon, they currently languish in 15th place in the Premier League.

Amorim openly acknowledged this , stating, “We are living a season that is really strange because we are doing so well in Europe but, in the Premier League, we struggle. But we will be prepared for the final.” He emphasized a crucial “change in mentality” within his squad, highlighting their competitive spirit as paramount.

Previewing the all-English showdown, Amorim recognized Tottenham’s formidable attacking prowess and high-intensity style. However, he also shrewdly pointed out their defensive vulnerabilities: “They score a lot of goals but they also suffer because they want to score every time.” This suggests a potential area for United to exploit in the decisive match.

Finally, Amorim lauded the unwavering support of the Manchester United faithful, expressing his admiration: “With our fans, it’s no surprise. They’d swim to Bilbao if needed, even without a ticket. We’ll do our best to give them something in return.”

The final represents a pivotal moment for both clubs, offering a chance for silverware, redemption after challenging league campaigns, and a coveted spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
