Man Utd squad for Europa League final CONFIRMED with key man missing out against Tottenham after losing race to be fit
MANCHESTER UNITED will be without Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez for tomorrow night's Europa League final.
Ruben Amorim's squad for the blockbuster Bilbao clash has been confirmed with De Ligt and Martinez the only two senior players missing out on a place on the plane.
De Ligt had been facing a late fitness battle to return in time for the final having picked up a knock against Brentford earlier this month.
The central defender was not thought to have suffered a serious injury, but after sitting out clashes with Athletic Club, West Ham and Chelsea, he will now be forced to miss the final too.
Meanwhile Martinez was always going to miss the European clash after a ruptured ACL injury against Crystal Palace in February.
Despite the defensive blow to Amorim's side ahead of the all-English clash, they appear to have been handed a major boost up top.

That's because Joshua Zirkzee has been named in the travelling squad, despite Amorim previously claiming the Dutch striker was out for the season.
The Portuguese manager said of the forward: "He’s not going to play more this season. Let’s prepare him for the next one.
"It’s tough, especially in this moment. I think he’s improving in all aspects of the game, so it’s hard for any player to stop."
Diogo Dalot and Leny Yoro, who had both been considered doubt too, have also been named in the travelling squad.
