Europa League 2025 prize money: How much are Man Utd and Tottenham competing for in thrilling final
IT has been a while since we had an all-English Europa League final – but that changes on May 21 – and the prize money for the winners has been revealed!
Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham will face off in Bilbao with several things on the line.
Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim will be desperate to mark his debut season at the helm of United by lifting some silverware, especially after the Prem campaign his team has suffered.
And after United’s 7-1 aggregate pummelling on Athletic Bilbao, Amorim will be very confident his side can do so.
However, Ange Postecoglou promised Spurs fans that he always delivers trophies in his second season, and after their dominant semi-final performance against Bodo/Glimt, there is every chance this could happen.
But not only can both teams turn what has been a woeful season into a memorable one, they can win a ton of money too.
