Manchester United dominated large parts of the scrappy first half but were undone when the ball appeared to deflect off Manchester United's Luke Shaw, resulting in an own goal. UEFA officially credited Johnson with the goal.

The Red Devils continued to press in the second half, but Tottenham held firm to keep a clean sheet and secure their first trophy in 17 years.

What happened between Casemiro and Onana?

The heated moment between Casemiro and Onana unfolded when Shaw, under intense pressure from Johnson, was forced to clear a long ball and concede a corner.

The Brazilian and several other teammates protested the referee’s decision to award a corner, but their appeals were waved away.

Onana also approached the official to express his frustration, leading to a brief exchange of words with Casemiro.

The situation grew tense until captain Bruno Fernandes stepped in, attempting to defuse the argument before the corner was taken.

Now in his third season at the club, Casemiro has enjoyed a strong resurgence after being dropped by Ruben Amorim earlier in the campaign.

He spent much of December and January on the bench but has since re-established himself as a key figure in the squad.

Ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Tottenham, he described the 2024/25 season as his most successful yet.

"This was one of the seasons I think I feel most proud of myself," Casemiro told ESPN Brasil. "It's been a long time since I've been through a moment like this, where the coach doesn't count on you, but you keep working, keep doing things well."

Amorim speaks on United future

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim admitted after the match that he’s willing to walk away from Manchester United without seeking any compensation—if the club’s board or supporters no longer have faith in him.

“I have nothing to show the fans right now, so at this point, it’s about a bit of faith,” he said via the BBC.
“Let’s see what happens next. As I’ve said before, I’m always open. If the board or the fans believe I’m not the right person, I’ll leave the very next day—no talks about compensation. But I won’t resign.
“I have full confidence in my work, and as you can see, I won’t be changing how I do things.”

Alex Ferguson's crushed reaction to Man United defeat

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a video capturing Sir Alex Ferguson’s heartbroken reaction to Manchester United’s Europa League final defeat to Tottenham is circulating widely on social media.

The iconic former manager was spotted in the VIP stands at San Mamés in Bilbao, and his distant, expressionless stare perfectly reflected the mood of United fans around the world.

United’s failure to break down Tottenham’s backline ultimately cost them dearly, as Spurs grabbed a scrappy goal, one the Red Devils will feel was entirely avoidable.
