Manchester United injury news as Ruben Amorim confirms the return of three first-team players for the Europa League final\"JoshuaJoshua Zirkzee is available for Man United against Tottenham in the Europa League(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> will have Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro available for selection for Wednesday night’s Europa League<\/a> final against Tottenham at the San Mames Stadium.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim’s men will lock horns with their Premier League<\/a> rivals in Bilbao for a place in next season’s Champions League<\/a>. After suffering their worst-ever campaign in the Premier League, United could still end the term on a high.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the all-English showdown with both Amorim and Ange Postecoglou under pressure. Unfortunately, both managers are suffering with injuries and will be without some noticeable names.<\/a><\/p>\n

United trio Zirkzee, Yoro and Diogo Dalot were all included in the travelling squad <\/a>to Bilbao on Tuesday after returning to full training at Carrington in the morning. All three players have been regular starters under Amorim this season.<\/p>\n

Zirkzee had been ruled out for the season in April but his return comes as a huge boost. Defensive duo Yoro and Dalot are also in contention to start, although Matthijs de Ligt has been ruled out.<\/p>\n

The former Ajax man picked up an injury at Brentford at the start of the month and has only been spotted doing light individual work. Asked about the surprise return of Zirkzee, Amorim said<\/a>: “Me neither [didn’t expect Zirkzee to be fit]! They recovered quite well.<\/p>\n

“We respect the feeling of the player but we push a little bit because they want to be a part of the team and that is a very good sign. It’s very good for us. They are limited in the minutes for the game but they can help us. De Ligt is out.”<\/p>\n

De Ligt’s absence means only him, Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martinez are out for United meaning Amorim has multiple options to choose from in Bilbao.<\/p>\n
