Manchester United confirms the UEFA Cup final lineup, both the Netherlands and Argentina defenders are absent

Manchester United has confirmed the UEFA Cup final lineup, with D Rigt and Martinez missing

Manchester United will make their debut in the UEFA Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur on May 22, but the team will lack two important players, Mattes D Rigt and Lisandro Martinez.

head coach Ruben Amorin finally confirmed the roster to participate in the final match against Tottenham, in which De Rigt and Martinez failed to go with the team to Bilbao, Spain due to injury. De Rigt was injured at the beginning of the month against Brentford. Although his injury was not serious, he had missed the match against Athletic Bilbao, West Ham United and Chelsea, and now he regretfully missed the most critical game of the season.

On the other hand, Martinez ended this season early because he suffered an ACL torn against Crystal Palace in February.

Despite the significant losses on the backline, Manchester United received good news from the frontline. Although coach Amorin had previously stated that Dutch striker Joshua Zilkize would miss the rest of the season, he unexpectedly appeared on the roster. In addition, two defenders Diogo Dalot and Lennie Yoro were also included in the list of the expeditions. Dalot has been plagued by calf problems since his defeat against Wolves on April 20, while Yoro has just recovered from an injury against West Ham on May 11.

Due to UEFA's transfer regulations, young player Chido Obi, who transferred from Arsenal, failed to enter the squad for this final.

On the other side, Tottenham Hotspur also suffered a serious injury and many main players were unable to play. Head coach Angie Postkoglu cannot use James Madison and Deyan Kulushevsky, both of whom are high-free cards due to knee problems. Lucas Bergvar was also out due to an ankle ligament injury.

The UEFA Cup final is expected to be extremely fierce, and both teams are eager to make up for their poor performance in the domestic league by winning the championship. This is not only a victory or defeat of a game, but also an explanation for the efforts of the whole season.
