Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will meet in the Europa League final on May 21, after both sides sealed wins in their semifinal ties on Thursday.
Spurs beat Bodo/Glimt 2-0 in Norway, and United came from behind for a 4-1 win over Athletic Club in their respective second legs to put further gloss on the final aggregate scorelines after both teams came in with the advantage from the first legs.
The results sets up a final that features two teams from England for the third time in Europa League and UEFA Cup history, after Chelsea beat Arsenal in 2019 and Tottenham prevailed over Wolves in a two-legged affair in 1972.
The final will be played at San Mames, the Basque Country home stadium of the very team United beat in the semis in Athletic Club.
The deciding match for Europe’s second-tier competition will give Man United and Tottenham the chance to end their less-than-stellar seasons — both teams are in the bottom half of the Premier League — with a trophy and a spot in the 2025-26 edition of the Champions League.
