The Europa League Final looks destined to be that will divide fans of both sides this year. Manchester United fans are deeply unimpressed with the Red Devil’s domestic season and will view a victory as somewhat of a token gesture in the scheme of things.
Don’t forget, the Old Trafford faithful have lifted plenty of silverware since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, but they have singularly failed to get a firm grip on the business of regaining the swagger they had under the irascible Scotsman.
Tottenham Hotspur supporters are further split into those who have been utterly infuriated with Ange Postecoglou, and those that are begging others to truly judge him come Wednesday morning.

Both sets of fans will be looking to put dreadful seasons behind them. United and Spurs have spent far too long courting relegation this term, and the magic of a European final will soothe even the grumpiest of supporters.

Manchester United’s coach is wary of Spurs, and he may be right…
“I think they’re a team that have a lot of intensity, a really strong identity. They will play in the same way, you can see it – they score a lot of goals, but they suffer also because they want to score every time.”
Whereas Spurs gaffer Ange Postecoglou has been keener to distance himself from direct comparisons. Ange’s line about always winning in his second season is clearly something that he feels remains the sentiment that does the talking for him.
Away from this game of games, speculation over the managerial situation at Spurs runs unchecked.
Fabio Paratici looks set to return to N17, and is very likely to have an have an influence on who the next manager of Tottenham will be provided that Postecoglou does depart as expected.
Journalist Tom Barclay has tipped
Italian manager Francesco Farioli is set to be in the frame to be the next manager of The Lilywhites.
Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, and Oliver Glasner also remain on the THFC shortlist, according to numerous media reports.
The bookmakers see very little between the two sides, only marginally favouring Manchester United. However, it is Spurs that have scored a lot of goals both domestically and in Europe.
