In the Europa League final to be held in San Mames, Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time), it is unlikely to see a large number of Manchester United players attending.
The BBC reported on the 13th that Manchester United has decided to distribute two free tickets to the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur each. The club informed them that up to 10 tickets could be purchased for each player, but they have to decide how they will travel to Bilbao.
The number of people entering San Mames, where the final will be held, is 49,600. The UEFA distributed 15,000 seats of tickets to Manchester United and Tottenham, respectively. While Tottenham distributed tickets to all of the club's staff and players, Manchester United decided to throw a party in Manchester to watch the game on a big screen instead of distributing free tickets to the club's staff. Instead of letting the team employees enter for free, they decided to receive a fee from the participants. The BBC reported that if Manchester United win the Europa League, they plan to hold a barbecue at the Carrington training ground with the squad.

Manchester United's decision is not irrelevant to its cost-cutting efforts. Since the acquisition of the club by co-owner Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos, various measures have been taken, including reducing manpower and abolishing employee meals. In this final, it has a stance to distribute more tickets to general fans than to club members.
Tottenham distributed tickets to club employees, but it is reported that they will not pay for round-trip tickets to Bilbao and local accommodation. The Daily Mail said it was unclear how much Tottenham employees who were allocated tickets to the finals would benefit, with accommodation costs expected to reach thousands of pounds in Bilbao.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain-Inter Milan staff, who will face off in the European Champions League final in Munich, Germany, are expected to enjoy intuitive benefits. The Daily Mail wrote 'PSG will provide all of its employees with tickets and travel expenses for the finals, and plans to provide tickets to Inter Milan employees as well.
