Wednesday 21 May 2025 13:48
Wayne Rooney says he is amazed by Manchester United fans and he just wants Ruben Amorim’s side to enjoy the occasion at San Mames, despite the intense pressure, and get the job done against Tottenham Hotspur.
Our all-time leading goalscorer joined Wes Brown, Andy Cole and Denis Irwin on stage at the club’s fan park in the Basque city, as Reds from all over the world, with many a story to tell about their journeys here, to offer his views on the Europa League final.
With the atmosphere building nicely ahead of the 20:00 BST kick-off at the scene of our impressive first-leg win over Athletic Club in the semi-final, Rooney also had a quick word with MUTV’s Zarah Connolly as part of our extensive coverage of the pre-match activities.

FAN ZONE Q&A | “If they enjoy it then they will play better,” says Wayne Rooney, offering his advice to the players…
“I think there’s a lot of pressure on both teams,” explained the legendary striker. “Obviously, both teams, United and Tottenham, have struggled and not had a great time in the Premier League.
“It’s an opportunity for one of them to end the season on a high, with a trophy, and to get into the Champions League. So just relax and enjoy the game.
“If they enjoy it, they will play better.”
Rooney clearly enjoyed speaking in front of the supporters who still idolise him, following his trophy-laden career at United.
“The fans amaze me really because it’s been a hard season,” he admitted. “Over the past few seasons, it’s been quite difficult. To see the fans, and how they are still supporting the team, the passion and hunger to get behind the players, is incredible.
“To see them and be part of it here is brilliant.”
