The game at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, will determine the destiny of Manchester United and Tottenham. Both teams are depending solely on this competition for next season's activities. These two English sides experienced a huge decline in performance and reputation and this cup will give them a lifeline to rebuild the club. They would be able to attract world class players if the win the competition since these players will prefer clubs that will be playing in the UCL. Both teams have been inconsistent this season. Hence, it will be difficult to predict who the winner will be. But I agree that Tottenham are favourites to win the Cup since they have performed better each time they met this season.
A ticket to the Champions League is the ultimate target of this competition although in terms of prestige this trophy is also one that is fought for by many teams. Manchester United and Tottenham are aware of the bad consequences they have experienced in the Premier League so in order to build a team for next season they must first win the Europa League. The meeting in the Premier League this season for both was won by Tottenham but Manchester United is superior in the competition in the Europa League so it is difficult to predict who will come out as champions this season.
