Manchester United just took a brutal tackle in the Europa League final. Tottenham’s win wasn’t just a trophy lost — it knocked United out of all European football next season.
That’s a straight red card to their Champions League dreams for 2025-26. No Europe, no glory, no lifeline.
The club also missed out on a £100 million financial boost — cash they desperately needed. With £300 million in past losses, this is a financial own goal.
Now, their transfer game looks shaky. Signing big names just got tougher. Worse, they may have to sell young stars like Mainoo and Garnacho to stay within PSR limits.

No silverware. No saving grace.
Manager Ruben Amorim is under fire. No silverware, no saving grace. He’s got fans and critics piling on after their worst-ever Premier League season — 16th place and 18 defeats.
The club’s badge isn’t shining like it used to. No Champions League means top talents may dribble past them to bigger stages.
Tactically, Amorim’s rigid 3-4-3 got exposed. No flexibility, no plan B — and now, no safety net for a squad rebuild.
Mentally, they’re down. Luke Shaw says they’ve hit “rock bottom.” Watching Spurs lift the trophy was salt in the wound.
United have been floored. This wasn’t just a loss. It was a crushing blow. And the long road to recovery has only just kicked off.
