Manchester United have just three untouchables in this summer's transfer window

The sight of Leny Yoro's name among the starters at the San Mames Stadium on Wednesday evening immediately increased the confidence levels of Manchester United's supporters with 75 minutes to go until kick-off.

After the Frenchman had recovered from a foot injury in time to be included in the 26-man squad Ruben Amorim named for the trip to Bilbao, United's supporters crossed their fingers in the hope of seeing him make the starting XI.

Much to their delight, he was deemed fit enough to start the Europa League final and he lined up on the right of the back-three, joining forces with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw in defence.

The Frenchman had suffered a foot injury ten days prior to the final, being forced off in United's 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United, and missed the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge five days later, with Amorim admitting he was in a battle against the clock to be fit in time.

Ultimately, despite winning his fitness battle and becoming United's youngest starter in a European final since Brian Kidd back in 1968, it did not make a difference to the outcome.

Brennan Johnson's first half winner sealed Spurs their first trophy in 17 years and condemned United to a second Europa League final defeat in five seasons. It also ended their aspirations of competing in the Champions League next season.

United's powder-puff performance at the San Mames was symbolic of their season, meaning it has put immense strain on their plans for this summer's transfer window.

Champions League qualification would have banked United a minimum of around £85million, meaning they will be guided through this summer's transfer window by Plan B instead.

Understandably, the mood among United's supporters is at an all-time low.
