The RECORDSPOSTOR OFFICE OF MANCHESTER United is in Bilbao prior to the final of the Europa League on Wednesday evening with colleague Premier League side Tottenham, where he entered the stage in a fan zone for thousands and made the bizarre admission
The legend Wayne Rooney of Manchester United has told fans how he saw the sister activate while he prepared himself in 2008 at his Champions League final. Rooney appeared in the United Fan Zone in Bilbao and also supported his old team to beat Spurs tonight in the Europa League final – so that the fans can enjoy a few “Bevvies”.
Thousands attended the zone in a park above the city, because United's record goal scorer Rooney of all time went on stage with fellow stars, including defender Wes Brown, ex-striker Andy Cole and the legendary former full-back Denis Irwin. And he said to the cheering crowd: “I remember the final in 2008, I went into the room and looked at Sisteract.”
United wants to leave a miserable season by winning the Europa League against colleague Premier League side Tottenham – looking for European silverware and a gloomy domestic campaign.
The success of the Europa League is estimated at about £ 100 million for the Victor, but Glory is the most important focus for those who have taken all kinds of weird and beautiful routes to the Basque Country. There have been predictions of 80,000 fans on their way to the all-English final in Bilbao, where the sparing of accommodation options has seen supporters spill in surrounding cities such as San Sebastian and Vitoria.
Rooney added: “It's so good to be here, I hope the boys give everyone the chance tonight to get a few supplies and enjoy the night.”
When asked how many goals he would score on this current united side, he said: “I would like to think that I and Coley would have scored more than the attackers have this season. It was a difficult season, hard to watch. But to get the opportunity to win a European trophy and return to the Champions League, I hope they can get back to where.”
Wes Brown said to the United fans: “I was out late last night – let's hope I can leave late tonight.”
United can lift a trophy for the third consecutive season, after he has won the Carabao Cup in 2023 and then the FA Cup of last season under Erik ten Hag.
Successor Ruben Amorim has the opportunity to continue that run and help them start a much needed rebuild, in which skipper Bruno Fernandes dreams of retrieving the Europa League on Wednesday evening.
“It will not change the past, it will also not affect what the past has done to us,” said the United Skipper. “But what it can influence is the future.
“It is clear that winning a match gives you a lot of things. In this case you get a place in the Champions League, a lot of income for the club, getting more players who want to come to the club. I think it doesn't change much in that aspect because I think every player wants to play for man and it is a thing that will change because the name of this club for himself.
“But the most important thing for us is to concentrate on what we have for us and that is a huge final.”
