Paul Scholes, a legendary figure at Manchester United, has expressed strong belief that the club’s tradition of winning trophies will give them a psychological edge over Tottenham Hotspur in the upcoming Europa League final. United, now led by Rúben Amorim, booked their spot in the final with an overwhelming 7-1 aggregate victory over Athletic Club, including a 4-1 win at Old Trafford. Despite an early scare from Mikel Jauregizar’s superb goal for Athletic, United quickly regained control and dominated the rest of the match.
Mason Mount, who has struggled with injuries this season, made a powerful statement with two goals, one of which came from an astonishing strike near the halfway line. His performance highlighted United’s attacking prowess and gave fans plenty to be excited about heading into the final in Dublin.
Scholes’ confidence in his former club stems from what he sees as a deeply ingrained winning mentality at United. With a storied history and a cabinet filled with 68 major trophies, he believes United are far better equipped for high-pressure matches than Tottenham, who haven’t lifted a European title since 1984. While Spurs have battled their way to the final, their path has exposed some inconsistencies. In contrast, Amorim’s side seems to have found their rhythm at the perfect time, with Mount’s resurgence adding even more strength to a team determined to return to continental glory.
