While Manchester United holds a historical advantage, Tottenham has dominated recent encounters, remaining unbeaten in the last six matches against United, including three victories this season:
3-0 at Old Trafford (Premier League)
4-3 in the EFL Cup quarter-final
1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Premier League)
Manchester United have received a timely boost with the return of three key players to training: forward Joshua Zirkzee, defender Leny Yoro, and full-back Diogo Dalot. Zirkzee, who was previously ruled out for the season due to a hamstring injury sustained on April 13 against Newcastle United, has made a surprising recovery and is now available for selection. Yoro and Dalot have also overcome recent injuries and are expected to be part of the matchday squad.
However, the Red Devils will be without defenders Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt. Martínez is sidelined with a long-term knee injury, while de Ligt did not travel with the squad due to a knock sustained earlier in May.
Tottenham Hotspur face significant challenges with several key players ruled out of the final. Midfielders James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are unavailable due to knee injuries, while Lucas Bergvall is sidelined with an ankle ligament injury. Additionally, defender Radu Drăgușin and forward Timo Werner are also out of contention.
On a positive note, midfielder Pape Matar Sarr has been declared fit and is expected to feature in the final.
