ALL eyes will be on the Bilbao pitch as Manchester United and Tottenham battle it out in a mouthwatering Europa League final – but the pundit panel is just as important!
The Red Devils tore semi-final opponents Athletic Bilbao apart over the two legs.
An early red card followed by a Bruno Fernandes double fired Ruben Amorim’s men to an emphatic 3-0 first leg win, before Mason Mount’s masterclass in the second leg completed the job at Old Trafford.
Tottenham also flew out of the blocks in their final four contest against Bodo/Glimt courtesy of goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke.
And Solanke got on the scoresheet again away from home which was then followed by a sensational Pedro Porro strike to seal the deal in Norway.
But what made both ties even more entertaining was the dramatic commentary, and the panel has been revealed for TONIGHT’s final.

What has been said?
Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand has admitted that winning the Europa League would only ‘paper over the cracks’ at his former club.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Ferdinand said “It would be a huge success, given the disappointments there have been in the Premier League this year.
“To end the season with a trophy and then qualification for the Champions League, I don’t think they could’ve dreamed of that. It’d paper over some of the cracks.
“Physically, the teams they’ve played against [in the Europa League] they’ve been able to overpower. In the Premier League, United are possibly one of the weakest teams physically.
“If they don’t get beat tactically or by individual brilliance, then physically they get overpowered or overrun, and in Europe they’ve managed to do that to opposing teams.”
