Tottenham may have less experience in the Europa League than Manchester United. However, Tottenham has experience playing against Manchester United. Both are Premier League teams. So they face each other at least twice a season.
Both Manchester United and Tottenham are at the bottom of the points table. There is no possibility of either team falling into the relegation zone. However, their position is 16th and 17th in the table. Despite their poor performance in the Premier League, both teams are continuing their efforts to win the Europa League title.
Manchester United's past match results against Tottenham are not good. United have not won any of their last 5 matches against Tottenham. They have lost 4 matches and drawn one. So it will be very difficult for Manchester United to win this match as well.

Tottenham and United are not in the relegation zone because the place there was occupied by teams that do not correspond to the level of the Premier League, that is, literally teams from the Championship - they came from there and are returning there. It looks like the same thing will happen with the next newcomers. Thus, if we discard these random participants, United and Tottenham are literally the worst teams in the Premier League.
As for historical statistics, they hardly matter here, since this is a special game (and there is a lot at stake, practically the success/failure of the season).
