Tottenham fans will love Gareth Bale announcement for Manchester United clash
Tottenham will be taking on Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Europa League at San Mames on 21 May.
Both sides have endured extremely difficult domestic campaigns and one of them could even end it in 17th place in the Premier League.
Currently, Spurs are a point behind United, but a draw or a win on the final day coupled with a United loss would see them finish in 16th.

Gareth Bale, who was at Spurs from 2007-2013, and then again on loan for the 2020-21 campaign, will be part of the TNT Sports coverage for the final.

Bale left Tottenham for Real Madrid where he was part of a formidable front three with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
He was also part of the side that last won a trophy for the Lilywhites – the League Cup in 2008.
Since then, he’s won five Champions League titles and three La Liga titles with Real Madrid.
Tottenham fans will certainly be thrilled to watch Bale as part of the pre-match show
Gareth Bale’s addition to the TNT Sports panel for the Europa League final on 21 May promises to bring a wealth of insight that Tottenham fans will deeply appreciate.
As a former Spurs icon, the Welshman offers a unique perspective on the team’s culture, pressure and aspirations, especially in a high-stakes match against Manchester United.
Fans will likely value his tactical analysis, given his evolution from a left-back at Southampton to a dynamic winger under Harry Redknapp, where he earned two PFA Players’ Player of the Year awards.
Bale’s experience in big finals, like those with Real Madrid, will provide valuable insights into handling pressure, something Spurs fans will hope resonates with the current squad.
