Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday advanced into an all-English Europa League final where a trophy and a place in the next Champions League will be at stake for the two Premier League underachievers.

Man United reached the Europa League final by playing poorly enough to remind everyone why they need the Europa League to save their season.

For Manchester United or Tottenham, a miserable campaign will end in Europa League glory. Despite both teams languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League, the Champions League is now just one game away.
