Spurs have already beaten Manchester United three times this season
Glenn Hoddle has revealed the “slight problem” facing Tottenham in an all-English Europa League final against Manchester United.
Spurs sealed their place in the showpiece fixture on May 21 with a 5-1 aggregate win over Bodo/Glimt in the semi-final, claiming a 2-0 victory in the second leg thanks to a professional performance in Norway on Thursday night.
It means the Premier League rivals will face-off in Bilbao in less than two weeks, and for one side it is a chance to save what has been a disappointing campaign.
Interestingly, Tottenham have beaten Man United three times this season. They recorded a Premier League double over the Red Devils without conceding a goal in addition to knocking them out of the Carabao Cup at the quarter-final stage.
However, when speaking on TNT Sports after the win over Bodo/Glimt, Hoddle explained how difficult it is to beat one side four times in one season.
He said: "A slight problem for me on a downer, to beat a team four times in one season from the Premier League is really tough, it really is.
"But, it's a one-off game, Spurs, when they're on their game, when they defend properly, they're a match for anyone and they've proved that with some of the performances they have put in this year.
"But it's just wonderful for Ange and those lads, they have worked hard, they have had a real up and down season, so many different injuries, lots of things being said about the club.
"At the end of the day, they've found themselves in a final now against Manchester United.
"They do love a European final against English opposition. They've had Wolves, Liverpool and now they've got another English team. It's ironic really but it is a fabulous night for the club."
