Ruben reveals team news for finale
Saturday 24 May 2025 14:04
Ruben Amorim has spoken about the Manchester United team news for our final match of the Premier League season, against Aston Villa.
The head coach held a press conference at Carrington on Saturday, following the painful Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in midweek, in order to preview Sunday’s 16:00 BST kick-off at Old Trafford.
Although he was not asked about his squad situation for the game, he did catch up with MUTV’s Zarah Connolly to explain there are “some situations” he is having to deal with, and hinted Leny Yoro may not be risked on the day.
When asked if everybody had come back fit from Bilbao, Ruben replied: “No, there are some situations, like Leny. We have to be careful. We had that in the last [home] game before the final, I think it was West Ham, on his foot.
“We’re going to take care of some situations so as not to compromise next season. The rest, we want to win the game so we are going to put a squad together.”
Lisandro Martinez, who did travel to the Basque Country with his family to support the team, remains on the sidelines but the only other player unavailable for the Spurs clash, Matthijs de Ligt, was spotted doing individual training at Carrington, ahead of the flight.
Whether he will be available, though, is debatable, particularly considering the boss’s comments about not wanting to take any unnecessary risks.
Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee made their comebacks from injury in San Mames, while Jonny Evans was also fit enough to be part of the matchday squad.
ASTON VILLA’S TEAM NEWS
Youri Tielemans is being given every chance to prove his fitness and the key midfielder is expected to make the trip with the squad.
Unai Emery can also call upon Jacob Ramsey, as he returns from a one-match suspension.
Hence, the only player unavailable for the visitors could be on-loan Reds forward Marcus Rashford, who is ineligible and has been out injured anyway.
