Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Ruben Amorim should utilize Bruno Fernandes as a False 9 in the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur. The sides clash at San Mames on Wednesday, May 21.
In his column for Caught Offside, however, Scholes acknowledged that the Red Devils’ head coach will choose Rasmus Hojlund for the big game.
He continued:
Nevertheless, the former Manchester United midfielder pointed out that Amorim could learn from Erik ten Hag’s approach for the Europa League final.
He continued:
Manchester United are currently 16th in the Premier League, while Tottenham Hotspur are 17th.
Manchester United have reached the Europa League final on two previous occasions. They first played in the final during the 2016/17 season under Jose Mourinho.
The Red Devils triumphed over Ajax and went on to lift the title for the first time in their history. The Premier League giants found themselves in the Europa League final again in the 2020/21 campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but lost to Villarreal in a penalty shootout. Manchester United will contest their third Europa League final on Wednesday, and a victory could transform their season.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina’s glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
