Tottenham turn the tide

Brennan Johnson's only goal in the 42nd minute was enough to help Tottenham beat MU 1-0 on May 22, thereby winning the Europa League title for the 2024-2025 season.

According to the British newspaper, The Athletic , with a place in the Champions League in the 2025-2026 season, Tottenham will be guaranteed an income of up to 80 million USD thanks to their participation in the group stage, and will also receive additional payments for their performance in this round. They will also benefit from a significant boost to their brand when they return to Europe's most prestigious club tournament.

Meanwhile, with their journey in the Europa League this season, Tottenham earned about 40 million USD when reaching the final and another 6.7 million USD when beating MU to win the championship.

Spurs will also earn another $4 million from the European Super Cup match in August, when they will meet this season's Champions League winners between PSG and Inter Milan (taking place at 2am on June 1).

In total, thanks to this year's Europa League championship, Tottenham will bring in more than 130 million USD. This huge revenue will help the North London team improve significantly financially and will have more budget to recruit new stars when returning to the Champions League.

The Europa League title and the huge amount of money earned also helped coach Ange Postecoglou to keep his seat, despite the results and position in the Premier League (17th place and 21 losses after 37 matches). This 59-year-old Australian coach also announced that he would not resign after winning the Europa League and proved his statement "my second season always has a championship".

Meanwhile, in contrast to the image of MU Club, Coach Amorim affirmed: "I will not give up. I am confident in my job and I will not change anything. If the board of directors or fans feel that I am not the right person, I will leave the next day without any discussion about compensation... but I will not give up".

However, MU's precarious situation is the financial problem. They only earned about 40 million USD for the entire campaign to reach the Europa League final. In the Premier League, they are in 16th place. Not winning any European Cup spots next season, the "Red Devils" have lost a lot of revenue. Not to mention, they will also have their shirt sponsors significantly reduce their sponsorship money because they do not participate in the Champions League.

If coach Amorim is still in charge at MU, surely next season this coach will have to start from scratch, reform the squad and rebuild the team, must achieve a high ranking in the Premier League to be able to bring the "Red Devils" back to glory.
