Gary Cahill, a former Chelsea defender and two-time Europa League winner, believes Tottenham can significantly improve their season by winning the Europa League. Both Tottenham and Manchester United are in the quarter-finals, facing Eintracht Frankfurt and Lyon respectively. The competition offers a chance for both teams to qualify for the Champions League, providing a much-needed boost after challenging Premier League campaigns.

Tottenham and Manchester United have had disappointing seasons in the Premier League. They are not performing well, according to Cahill. He told Stats Perform that winning the Europa League is crucial for both clubs. For Manchester United, with its rich history of success, this competition is vital. Meanwhile, Tottenham sees it as a way to salvage their season.

Cahill has experienced success in European competitions with Chelsea. He won the Champions League in 2012 and the Europa League in 2013 and 2019. He understands how transformative winning such trophies can be for a team’s season. Cahill thinks Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou needs this victory more than Manchester United's Ruben Amorim.

The pressure on Tottenham is immense as they aim to secure a trophy and Champions League qualification. Without these achievements, they risk falling short of their goals. Cahill notes that this competition could determine whether Postecoglou continues with the club if they exit early.

Manchester United's future also hinges on their performance in this tournament. Cahill suggests that summer transfers will be interesting to watch as they plan for next season. Winning the Europa League would provide both clubs with a fresh start and renewed hope.

The Europa League remains within reach for both teams despite their struggles this season. Winning it would not only save their campaigns but also offer them a chance to compete at Europe's highest level next year.
