  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Leny Yoro has been included in Ruben Amorim's starting line-up, according to The Athletic. The Frenchman was visibly upset as he hobbled off the pitch in United's 2-0 defeat by West Ham on May 11 and he missed the club's open training session one week before the final.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Yoro, who was United's biggest signing last summer for a reported £52 million ($69m), has been one of the team's most important players in their run to the European final. He scored in the 2-2 draw with Lyon in the quarter-final first leg and set up Mason Mount's equaliser in the 4-1 win over Athletic Club in the second instalment of the semi-final.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The 19-year-old was a surprise inclusion in the travelling squad along with Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee, who picked up injuries in April. But it is still a big surprise that he is able to start so soon after suffering the injury.

    WHAT NEXT?

    The final is the last chance for United to salvage something from their horrendous season as they are set for their lowest league finish since being relegated from the top flight in 1974. Amorim's side are 16th in the Premier League table, one point and one place above Wednesday's opponents Tottenham with one game left.
