Manchester United have included Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee in their squad for the Europa League final despite both men being injury concerns ahead of the clash with Tottenham
Manchester United have named Leny Yoro among those who will travel to Bilbao for the Europa League final despite his recent injury scare. The centre-half was forced off in the loss to West Ham just over a week ago, but may yet recover in time.
Yoro has been impressive during his debut season and having him back in contention is a plus for Ruben Amorim, who is looking to salvage the club’s season with success in Europe, which would ensure a route into next term’s Champions League.
Bruno Fernandes, the tournament’s top scorer, will need a big performance if the Manchester outfit are to down Tottenham despite going in as favourites. Joshua Zirkzee is another man who has travelled to the Basque country despite his injury issues.
Amorim previously said the Dutch forward was “out for the season” but he has travelled to Spain. Diogo Dalot has also been nursing an injury issue but will be part of the squad.
As expected the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Alejandro Garnacho are all included. Amad has recently made a timely return from his spell on the sidelines and could feature on Wednesday.

Luke Shaw, the only member from the team who won the Europa League back in 2017, is also part of the group that are looking to deliver European glory. It is the squad’s second visit to the San Mames in less than a month – enjoying the experience last time out.
They beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the first-leg of their semi-final before completing the job at Old Trafford, eventually winning 7-1 on aggregate. United are unbeaten in all 14 of their European games this term.
Amorim has endured poor preparation for the final, seeing his team lose again as Chelsea beat them on Friday night. They’re in the midst of a poor run of Premier League form, but have found solace on European nights and are 90 minutes away from a third trophy in three years.
