Tottenham will show 'no fear' against Man Utd as Micky van de Ven says Europa League final win the only way Ange Postecoglou's men can make this season 'successful'

Spurs sealed their place in the European decider on Thursday with a 2-0 win against Bodo/Glimt, seeing them go through with a 5-1 aggregate victory in the semi-final tie, while United strolled past Athletic Club by thrashing them 7-1 over both legs.

While the two teams have been in fine form in Europe, they have been woeful in the Premier League, with Spurs sitting 16th and a point behind 15th-placed United. It has been over 40 years since Spurs last won a continental trophy, while United last won the Europa League in 2017, and Van de Ven insists they must show no fear if they are to take the title back to London.

"Everybody goes to Bilbao to win a trophy. It has been a tough season and it will only be successful if we win the Europa League and get the trophy," the centre-back said. "[United] played Athletic Club, a really good team, and it was 7-1 over the two games. So they've also showed some real quality in Europe. We know it's going to be a different game, everything can happen in a final. But we're not going there with fear, of course. We know our qualities, we know it's going to be a difficult game, Man United showed their quality in this European campaign."

Before Spurs and United meet in Bilbao on May 21, the north London side will be looking to get three points against Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.
