'Why do I care?' - Ange Postecoglou over United-Spurs season comparison

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is undeterred by criticism surrounding his team’s Europa League final appearance against Manchester United.

Despite both teams struggling in the Premier League, Postecoglou emphasised that reaching the final is a significant achievement and shouldn’t be diminished by their league form.

“I couldn’t care less who’s struggling and who’s not. I think both us and United have earned the right to be there”, Postecoglou said.

The debate was sparked by former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s comments suggesting it would be wrong for Europa League winners to enter the Champions League.

Postecoglou hit back, saying, “The latest one is that neither of us will be able to get a trophy if we win, they’re just going to take a team photo because we’re not worthy.”

He added that the criticism stems from fear and a lack of understanding of the achievement.

Tottenham’s Europa League final appearance marks a significant milestone for the club, which hasn’t won a trophy since 2008.

Postecoglou’s team are now one win away from ending their 17-year drought.

Despite the team’s struggles in the league, Postecoglou believes that their achievement in reaching the final should be celebrated.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim echoed Postecoglou’s sentiments, acknowledging that both teams have struggled this season.

The Portuguese manager also noted that past results between the two teams won’t influence the final, and his team will focus on winning.

The Europa League final between Tottenham and Manchester United promises to be an exciting encounter.

Both teams will look to claim the trophy and secure a spot in the Champions League.

With Postecoglou’s team determined to end their trophy drought, the stage is set for a thrilling match in Bilbao.
