Europa Conference League Final: Collymore predicts winner of Man Utd vs Tottenham

Published

on

Stan Collymore, a former Liverpool star, has predicted the winner of the UEFA Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

Manchester United will tackle Tottenham in the Europa League final at San Mamés, Bilbao on May 21.

The Red Devils had defeated Athletic Club in the semi-final, while Spurs knocked out Bodø/Glimt from the competition.

Tottenham had won the last three meetings against Man United this season.

However, Collymore believes Tottenham will beat United in the Europa League final.

“I can see both finals going to extra time. In the Europa League, I could very easily see it ending 2-2 or 3-3 after 90 minutes because there is so much uncertainty surrounding how Tottenham and Man United will perform in Bilbao,” Collymore told CaughtOffside.

“It could very much be a toss of a coin for who win – but if I stick my neck out, I think Tottenham will take it because they have got the better of Man United in the previous three meetings this season.”

The kick-off time for the match is 8 p.m.

According to the Telegraph, the versatile full-back is not expected to return to action until the end of the year.

Aina’s long-term injury will be a big blow for new Forest manager Ange Postecoglou, who is hoping to make an instant impact at the club.

EPL: Rio Ferdinand names only team that will challenge Liverpool for title

Published

Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has said only Arsenal can challenge Liverpool in the Premier League title race this season.

The Reds are the only team with a perfect record after three games so far.

Before the current campaign kicked off, Ferdinand said only Liverpool and Manchester City would be in the running to emerge champions.

But he has now replaced City with Arsenal.

Arsenal began the season with wins over Manchester United and Leeds United before losing 1-0 to Liverpool before the international break.

Manchester City have however lost two of their three opening matches.

“I think the only team who will be anywhere near Liverpool this season is Arsenal,” Ferdinand told MailSport.

“They’ve got a great squad, real good depth with who they’ve bought.

“I don’t think we’ll see anyone else. Anyone you think might be a surprise, a Newcastle or a Chelsea, I think European football hinders them a little bit in that respect. Just the demands it puts on the squad.”
