"Man Utd have got an ability to win games that they shouldn't. They beat Man City in the FA Cup final last season. I just think the whole Man Utd in a European final will be too much for Tottenham."

echoed the thoughts of Carragher and was confident that his former club would get the job done. He cited the mentality of the likes of and Casemiro as key as he said: “I think United will win. There’s some players in there - Bruno and Casemiro - who will feel that occasion and want it, need it in their lives. I agree with the belief."

Several Tottenham players made reference to the stigma that had stuck with the club as they endured 17-years of frustration. The Europa League was their first trophy since 2008 and Johnson claimed their near misses were continually held against them.

He said: “I’m so happy right now. This season has not been good at all, not one of us players care about that now. This team has not won a trophy for 17 years, it means so much. All the fans get battered, we get battered for not winning a trophy. We had to get the first one, I’m so happy. Ever since I came here it has been ‘Tottenham, good team but can’t get it done’, but we got it done."
