BILBAO, Spain — Manchester United legend Paul Scholes don talk say make Ruben Amorim start Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho for di Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. Dis final go determine who fit secure spot for di Champions League and win silverware.
Both teams dey come from bad performances dis season, with Man Utd significantly underperforming, sitting low on di Premier League table. Tottenham’s situation no too strong either, as dem at 17th position. Scholes observe say only four clubs don score fewer goals than Man Utd in di league dis term, and Amorim don dey rely heavily on Bruno Fernandes for inspiration.
Scholes emphasize say, “I would try and start Amad and Garnacho in di final because dem be United’s two biggest goal threats, along with Bruno Fernandes.” He also suggest make Amorim put Fernandes back in central midfield alongside Casemiro, which don yield positive results for di team in di past.
“I think Amorim go start Rasmus Hojlund because he no too bad for di Europa League. He don show say he be real threat and don score important goals, but for di Premier League, he dey poor,” Scholes add.
Amorim’s decision to handle Hojlund’s role could affect di game plan, as Scholes mention say, if di manager choose to rest Hojlund, he fit use Fernandes as a false nine. “If Amorim wanted to change things up, he could play Bruno Fernandes as a false nine just like Ten Hag do for last season’s FA Cup final win over City,” he say.
Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher, and Gary Neville recently dey debate who go win di Europa League final. Keane put forward say Spurs don score more goals than United dis season, indicating say dem get goal threat. Carragher counter say, “If di Tottenham players no dey injured, e fit don 50/50 for dem winning. But I still dey believe Manchester United go win.”
Neville express concern say if Man Utd win di game, dia celebration go get cautious tone, especially seeing di difficulty dem face throughout di season. “Fans go celebrate well well, but di players go try maintain some kind modesty after di final,” he talk.
Scholes also talk about di historical derogatory expression of “Lads, it’s Tottenham,” which don linger for years. He explain say during him time, dem dey always confident when dem face Spurs, saying, “We were always confident against Tottenham. You still have to play against a team with very good footballers.”
Amid di pressure to end a trophy drought since 2008, Tottenham go enter di final with high hopes. Coach Ange Postecoglou don highlight how important na di trophy be compared to di potential Champions League qualification, stressing say, “We haven’t won a trophy for a long time, so dat’s most important.”
