Manchester United are set to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final in Bilbao, a match that could define their entire 2024/25 campaign.
Despite domestic struggles and a dismal Premier League showing, United fans are clinging to European success as a sign of progress under Ruben Amorim.
Amorim, whose job appears safe regardless of the result in Spain, has already outlined plans for the summer transfer window, with key names like Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap on the radar.

However, the futures of several fringe players remain uncertain, as the club looks to generate funds through sales.
One of the players United may look to move on is winger Antony, who has quietly rebuilt his reputation during a loan spell at Real Betis.
The Brazilian forward has found form in La Liga, sparking interest from several top clubs around Europe.
Now, his revival could take an international turn.
Carlo Ancelotti, who will officially take charge of the Brazil national team on 26 May, has begun shaping his plans for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.
Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season and is already laying the groundwork for his Selecao tenure.

The 65-year-old tactician has reached out to senior Brazil squad members and made enquiries about potential inclusions — with Antony’s name firmly in the mix, as per GOAL.
Having fallen out of favour on the international stage, Antony’s resurgence in Spain may now see him welcomed back by one of Europe’s most decorated managers.
Ancelotti has reportedly requested further details on the Manchester United loanee and is said to be considering handing him a surprise recall.
Whether Antony stays at Old Trafford or moves on this summer, the opportunity to represent Brazil again under Ancelotti could play a major role in shaping his future.
United, meanwhile, may be watching closely — a Brazil call-up could raise his stock significantly in the transfer market.
