Premier League fans desperate for Tottenham win v Manchester United after new reveal
Tottenham will have most Premier League fans behind them when they face Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final.
Spurs will compete in their sixth European final against the Red Devils at the Estadio de Sam Mamés on Wednesday (21 May).
A victory would be their first major trophy since defeating Chelsea in the Carling Cup final in 2008.
However, Spurs supporters are not the only ones praying for a historic win in Bilbao after a recent reveal indicates just how desperate other Premier League fans may be.
Premier League wants Tottenham to win Europa League
Spurs have endured their worst-ever Premier League campaign this season and will likely finish 17th after a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park.
While the brunt of a very bad joke for most Premier League fans this season, Tottenham have emerged as fans’ favourite to win in Bilbao.

| Manchester United | 2 | – | 3 |
According to a survey conducted by The Athletic (21 May), when asked who they wanted to win the Europa League final, fans of other Premier League teams voted overwhelmingly for the Lilywhites.
It was found that a massive 68.4 per cent of all fans would like to see Tottenham win the final, who were preferred by the fans of 14 clubs.
Everton, Liverpool and Wolves all polled the highest with a perfect 100 per cent of Everton fans hoping to see Spurs lift the Europa League Cup.
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal fans favour United along with Chelsea and West Ham, although around 48 per cent of Chelsea fans still voted for Spurs.
Tottenham have a big task ahead
The support of their fans and most Premier League groups may give Tottenham more incentive to get the job done, but victory will not come easily for Postecoglou.
The 59-year-old will be without James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall for the final, while several Red Devils are set to recover in time for the game.
This is less than ideal for Postecoglou, whose future is riding on the confrontation.
However, the Tottenham coach has managed to get his team this far despite injuries, and one last push against United may be all he needs to earn at least another year at the North London club.
