Manchester United and Tottenham set for all-English Europa League final on 21 May, marking the sixth all-English final in major European competition history. United, managed by Ruben Amorim, defeated Athletic Bilbao 7-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals, while Tottenham, led by Ange Postecoglou, beat Norwegians Bodo/Glimt 5-1 on aggregate. The English teams are looking to win their respective first European trophies in 17 and 41 years, respectively. Spurs have the upper hand in their recent encounters, having beaten United three times already this season, but data analysts Opta give United a slight edge in the final. The Europa League winners will secure a spot in next season's Champions League, a significant boost for both teams as they currently sit 15th and 16th in the Premier League, respectively.
