Europa League 2025 final: Man Utd have “belief” to beat Tottenham, says Harry Maguire

The Europa League final with Tottenham will be followed by the final Premier League game of the campaign against Champions League-chasing Aston Villa, with United nowhere near that race this season.

But there will be no immediate rest for United’s players, who have more work ahead of them.

As soon as the Villa game is over, they will be heading to Malaysia and then flying on to Hong Kong for two matches against local opposition next week.

The trip is likely to generate around £7.8m.

After a domestic campaign that will almost certainly result in the club’s worst finish since their 1973-74 relegation season, and knowing Premier League prize money alone is worth £3m a place, Maguire accepts the United squad cannot complain.

“It is the club’s decision and we don’t have any right to argue against it after the performances we have put on,” he said.

“As players, we have to take responsibility for the position in the Premier League and the money we have generated this season through that finish, which is nowhere near good enough.

“It shouldn’t be like that. Two months ago, we should have been in a better position, fighting for a Europa League position or the Champions League positions.

“We don’t have a right to stand here and criticise the club for trying to generate some money that will hopefully help us next season with signings.”
