Paul Scholes Reveals Why Manchester United Have the Edge Over Spurs in Europa League Final
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes his former club’s long-standing habit of winning trophies will give them the upper hand when they go head-to-head with Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final later this month.
United, now under the guidance of Rúben Amorim, cruised into the final in emphatic fashion, thrashing Athletic Club 4-1 at Old Trafford to wrap up a commanding 7-1 aggregate victory. While the night began with a brief scare—Athletic’s Mikel Jauregizar netting a beauty to make things briefly interesting—Amorim’s men roared back in style.
Mason Mount, who has been in and out of the side due to injury, delivered a performance to remember, scoring twice—including an outrageous strike from the halfway line—as United flexed their attacking muscles and sealed a dream finale in Dublin.
Paul Scholes’ confidence in Manchester United heading into the Europa League final against Tottenham is rooted in the club’s deep-seated winning mentality—a trait he believes still separates United from Spurs in high-stakes situations. With 68 major trophies in the cabinet, United have built a culture around success, especially in Europe, while Spurs are still chasing their first continental silverware since 1984.
Under Rúben Amorim, United appear revitalized, and the semi-final demolition of Athletic Club only strengthened that narrative. Mason Mount’s return to form, capped by a stunning long-range goal, has added another weapon to Amorim’s growing arsenal. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s path to the final has been more hard-fought, raising questions about their consistency on the biggest stages.
Do you think United’s experience and Amorim’s tactical edge will be enough to get past Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs in Dublin?
