Thousands of man united fans take over bilbao ahead of europa league final

Manchester United fans always follow their club home and away in huge numbers, no matter where or how far they need to travel. And that is no different ahead of Wednesday's Europa

League final in Bilbao, as thousands of United supporters have started to arrive in the Basque Country. United take on Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday's final as Ruben Amorim looks to

secure his first major trophy as Manchester United head coach. The winners of the tie will also secure qualification to next season's Champions League, so the stakes could not be higher

as both sides bid to win a major European trophy. Bilbao's San Mames Stadium holds a capacity of 53,289 with United and Tottenham both being allocated 14,770 tickets. But the number of

United fans making the trip to Bilbao is expected to far exceed that allocation, with many Reds just wanting to be in the city to soak up the atmosphere of the final, despite not having a

ticket. Many have had to make long journeys via connecting flights to reach their destination, too, and despite a dire Premier League season, United's support remains up there with the

very best and most dedicated in world football. With that in mind, we have collated some of the best pictures of United fans in Bilbao on Tuesday, as the build-up continues towards the big

game tomorrow. MEN Man Utd Europa final poll
