The Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham is a crucial match for both teams. Gary Neville, a former Manchester United defender, has admitted that the importance of this game is making him feel uneasy. The match is scheduled to take place at the Estadio de San Mames in Bilbao on Wednesday night.
Neville believes Manchester United will win the game, but the pressure and significance of the match are taking a toll on him. He mentioned that the game's importance is not just about winning a trophy, but also about the financial benefits it brings to the clubs. This includes attracting top players and increasing the clubs' finances.
Manchester United is currently in 16th place in the league, just one point above Tottenham. The team's managers, Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim, are at risk of losing their jobs if they don't win the trophy. A win would bring a sigh of relief to the team, which has been struggling for several years.
Neville believes that winning the Europa League would be a significant achievement for Manchester United, considering their poor performance in recent years. He thinks the team has the players who can rise to the occasion, mentioning Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro as examples. Neville is confident that Manchester United will win the game and feels that they have a good chance of getting through it.
A win for Manchester United would not only save Amorim's job but also bring Champions League football next season, a significant increase in finances, and a boost in reputation. This would give the team a chance to strengthen their squad with higher-quality players before the summer transfer window.
