Tottenham vs Manchester United LIVE!
This season's Europa League winners will be crowned tonight in an all-English final between Tottenham and Manchester United. Whilst it has been a Premier League campaign to forget for both sides, they have impressed on the European stage and are in the final on merit.
Spurs have, arguably, saved their best performances of the season for the Europa League knockout phase after beating Eintracht Frankfurt away from home and then getting the better of Bodo/Glimt in the semi-final. Man United, meanwhile, are still the only unbeaten side in European competition. Their route to Bilbao has already seen them record a win in Bilbao, whilst the dramatic comeback quarter-final second leg win over Lyon will go down in history as one of Old Trafford's special nights.
A massive game for both teams and not only will the winners get their hands on European silverware, but qualification for next season's Champions League is the additional reward. Follow the Europa League final LIVE below with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog, with expert insight and analysis from Dan Kilpatrick at San Mames!
