Ruben Amorim has made it a priority, resting players for Premier League fixtures, and United should reach the final having beaten Athletic Club 3-0 in the first leg of the last four clash last week. The Reds will hope to complete the job on Thursday at Old Trafford and set up a final with Bodo/Glimt or, more likely, Tottenham.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim defended making wholesale changes to field the club's youngest ever Premier League lineup in Sunday's 4-3 loss at Brentford.

However, there is no chance that a Manchester United-Tottenham final could be moved to an English venue, with Bilbao’s San Mames stadium awarded the rights to host the Europa League final way back in 2021, the same year that Uefa decided the Basque city would host the 2024 Women’s Champions League final.
