Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim and Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou have confirmed their starting XIs for Wednesday night’s Europa League final at San Mames.
The major team news for Man United is the involvement of Leny Yoro from the first whistle, with the Frenchman returning to training on Tuesday morning after recovering from a foot injury.
As for Tottenham, Richarlison is given the nod over Son Heung-min in the final third of the field, with the Brazilian starting alongside Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke as part of a front three.
Yoro is fit-enough to start following an injury scare against West Ham United in the Premier League, while Luke Shaw is also given the nod alongside Harry Maguire in the back three.
Diogo Dalot is on the bench after his return from a calf issue, while there is also a spot among the substitutes for Joshua Zirkzee, who has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from a hamstring issue.
