Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur both have the chance to record the lowest-ever league finish while winning a major European trophy later this month.
The waning Premier League giants will face off in Bilbao on May 21 in the Europa League final. United and Spurs sit 15th and 16th respectively in the Premier League table with just three games of the season left to surpass West Ham United's unwanted record. The Hammers finished 14th when they lifted the 2023 Europa Conference League.
Despite their domestic struggles, both sides have found form on the European stage. Tottenham romped to a 5–1 aggregate semifinal victory over Bodo/Glimt, becoming just the second foreign side to defeat the Norwegian champions from within the Arctic Circle this season.
United's continental form has been even more dramatic. Ruben Amorim's wildly unpredictable outfit thumped Athletic Club 7–1 on aggregate to maintain their unbeaten record in Europe this season, yet are guaranteed to record their lowest points total in Premier League history.
