Who Fans of Every Premier League Club Are Supporting in Europa League Final

Who Fans of Every Premier League Club Are Supporting in Europa League Final.

Neither Manchester United nor Tottenham Hotspur have impressed on the domestic stage – but one of the Premier League sides will secure Champions League action for the 2025/26 campaign by winning their Europa League final showdown.

Reigning victorious in Bilbao on Wednesday night would merely paper over the cracks for both sides – but it would offer, despite their dismal domestic campaigns, a route into Europe’s top table. But who do fans of other clubs want to win the all-English affair?

The folks over at The Athletic used a series of polls to ask their readers – those who support one of the other 18 clubs in England’s top flight – who they would rather win if they had to choose one of Manchester United, 16th in the Premier League table, and Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently placed just below in 17th.

Europa League Final: Who Fans of Other Clubs Want to Win

Arsenal in favour of Man Utd; Liverpool fans want Spurs to win

There have been recent calls to suggest that neither side, by virtue of their woeful positions in the Premier League table, should be issued Champions League football for next season – with supporters from other clubs, understandably, peeved.

Alas, one of Manchester United or Spurs will be rubbing shoulders with the continent’s big dogs in 2025/26.

Of the thousands that answered The Athletic’s poll, a total of 68.4 were in favour of Ange Postecoglou – who has claimed to always win silverware in his second season at every club he’s been at throughout his managerial career – coming out on top.

A victory for the Londoners is the preference for fans of 14 of the other sides that occupy the top tier. Only Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United – due to their proximity to Spurs – voted in favour of the out-of-sorts Red Devils.

Incredibly, there was just one fanbase who were equally split down the middle. Brentford, based in west London, voted evenly for both clubs, while – perhaps unsurprisingly – Liverpool were 95.9% in favour of Spurs lifting gold in Spain.

Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers, too, will not be pleased if Lisbon-born Ruben Amorim – widely regarded as one of the best young managers in world football – secures silverware in his maiden campaign, as 95.7% of the Molineux faithful voted in favour of a Red Devils defeat.

Maybe, just maybe, Matheus Cunha’s inevitable move to Old Trafford might have something to do with that.

Not a single voter of an Everton persuasion was willing to entertain the prospect of the Manchester-based outfit getting their hands on the trophy, while just shy of 50% – 48.1%, to be precise – of the Chelsea fanbase would like to see Spurs win.

Elsewhere, 93/1% of the Magpies faithful are hoping that Amorim’s men fall the final hurdle in the Basque Country. That was expected, however, given that Newcastle United are widely regarded as one of Manchester United’s biggest rivals alongside Liverpool and Leeds United.

All statistics per The Athletic – correct as of 21/05/2025
