Europa League Final: Man United vs Tottenham Line-Ups Revealed
Having just returned from injury and widely tipped to start, Son instead watched from the bench as manager Ange Postecoglou unveiled his preferred attacking trio.
Postecoglou’s Bold Front Three
By selecting Johnson, Solanke, and Richarlison up front, Postecoglou aims to break Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought with a fresh, dynamic attacking threat.
Midfield and Bench Omissions
Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski were all left out of the matchday squad, underscoring Postecoglou’s commitment to form over reputation.
Manchester United’s Tactical Setup
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim named a 3-4-3 formation, with surprising inclusions and exclusions among his attack.
United’s Striking Choices
Mason Mount, who netted a brace in the semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, earns a start.
Amad Diallo partners Mount alongside Rasmus Højlund, while Alejandro Garnacho drops to the bench.
Defensive and Midfield Structure
After missing the Chelsea defeat, Leny Yoro returns to bolster United’s back three.
Captain Bruno Fernandes, the joint top scorer in this season’s Europa League, anchors the midfield alongside Casemiro, Noussair Mazraoui, and Patrick Ørlyg Dorgu.
