Man United will face Tottenham in Bilbao on Wednesday as they aim to win the Europa League and secure a place in next season's Champions League.

Manchester United have confirmed they will wear their home shirt with black shorts in Wednesday's Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

United usually wear white shorts and black socks with their traditional red home shirt, but the club have confirmed they will tweak their home kit and wear black shorts in the final.

The last time United wore black shorts with their home shirt was away at Real Sociedad in the Europa League round of 16, where Joshua Zirkzee's second half effort was ruled out by a Mikel Oyarzabal penalty. United won the second leg 4-1 at Old Trafford to set up what turned out to be a thrilling quarter-final against Lyon.

Ruben Amorim's side will be looking to add this season's Europa League trophy to their collection in what has been a bitterly disappointing campaign.

United are 16th in the Premier League and have a -12 goal difference, but victory in Bilbao will see them clinch a place in next season's Champions League.

Wednesday's opponents Spurs have also endured a torrid season, sitting one place and one point below United in the Premier League table.

The two sides have already met three times this season, with Spurs claiming the win on all three occasions. Their most recent meeting was decided by James Maddison's first-half strike.

You have to go all the way back to October 2022 for the last United win over Spurs, with the north London side winning four and drawing two of the sides' last six meetings.
