Manchester United have received a major lift ahead of their Europa League final against Tottenham on May 21, 2025, in Bilbao. Social media reports indicate that key defenders Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Diogo Dalot have returned to training, potentially bolstering United’s backline for the crucial match.
The trio’s availability could be a game changer for manager Ruben Amorim, who had faced the prospect of relying on Jonny Evans or Toby Collyer as defensive cover. While some unverified posts on X suggest concerns over Antony, Marcus Rashford, Lisandro Martinez, and possibly the same trio missing the game, the positive buzz around De Ligt, Yoro, and Dalot’s recovery carries more weight, though official confirmation from the club is still pending.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are grappling with injury woes. Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are confirmed absentees, while Pape Sarr is doubtful with a back problem, potentially leaving their midfield vulnerable. Son Heung min, recently back from a foot injury, may not be fully fit to start, adding to Spurs’ challenges. Despite these setbacks, Tottenham have a psychological edge, having defeated United in all three meetings this season.

United’s attacking prowess, led by Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund, who top the Europa League scoring charts, could exploit Tottenham’s weakened squad. However, Spurs’ recent dominance over United suggests a fiercely contested final. With the injury boost, United fans are optimistic about their chances of lifting the trophy, but they should await official updates from the club or UEFA for clarity on the squad. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown at the San Mames Stadium.
