Spurs fans set to outnumber United supporters in Europa League final
Spurs fans are expected to outnumber their United equivalents in Bilbao next week despite their equal ticket allocations.
Tottenham fans are expected to outnumber their Manchester United counterparts during the days around the Europa League final next week, according to the Daily Mail.
Both Premier League clubs have been allocated 15,000 tickets for the clash at San Mames but it is claimed another 15,000 ticketless Spurs punters will also arrive in Bilbao compared to 2,000 of the Red Devils persuasion.
Next Wednesday’s final presents the chance for one of Tottenham or United to somewhat salvage their season with silverware and it is claimed many Spurs fans will be present in the Basque city to sample the ‘novelty value’ of a European final.
Both sides lost over the weekend and neither look like strong favourites to lift the trophy and seal Champions League qualification in the process.
United’s last European final came in 2021 when they were agonisingly beaten by Villarreal after a penalty shootout, while Tottenham were downed by Liverpool in the Champions League two years prior.
Both Spurs and United face difficult away fixtures on Friday night. Ange Postecoglou will hope to avoid any more injuries when his side take on Aston Villa, while Ruben Amorim’s troops visit Chelsea, who are themselves Conference League finalists.
