Before MU faced Tottenham in the Europa League final in the early morning of May 22, the supercomputer Opta announced the final prediction results in this tournament. Specifically, the winning rate was slightly tilted towards Spurs with a 50.3% chance of lifting the Europa League trophy.

According to Opta , the reason may come from the fact that Tottenham have beaten Man Utd three times in all competitions this season. Previously, the only team to beat the "Red Devils" four times in a season was Everton in the 1985-86 season.

Since their victory over Ajax in the 2017 Europa League final, United have not won a European trophy in eight years. The Red Devils reached the 2020/21 Europa League final but lost to Villarreal. Now, United have the opportunity to lift the trophy and escape the empty-handed situation this season.

In terms of statistics, the red team also has a player with an extremely impressive record, Casemiro. Previously, the former Real Madrid star participated in 7 European finals and won all of them.

Those victories all came in the colors of "Los Blancos". The upcoming confrontation with Tottenham will be his first time participating in the Europa League final.

On the other hand, goalkeeper Andre Onana failed in both European finals he participated in, including the 2017 Europa League final (for Ajax, losing to Man Utd) and the 2023 Champions League final (for Inter, losing to Manchester City).

Another good sign that MU fans need to pay attention to. Man City has gone empty-handed for the first time since the 2016/17 season, after losing to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. The last time Man City went empty-handed was the season MU won the Europa League.
