US EditionWhy Tottenham have forced Man Utd into Europa League final kit change
- Manchester United will wear an alternative kit for their Europa League final clash against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao on Wednesday evening.
- This change stems from Tottenham's 64-year European tradition of wearing all-white kits, a style introduced by manager Bill Nicholson in 1961 to improve visibility.
- Spurs, designated as the 'home' team, will wear their all-white kit with white shorts, while United will wear red shirts with black shorts and black socks, creating an unfamiliar look.
- Former Spurs player Cliff Jones remembered arriving at the locker room before the match to find the team’s all-white kit ready, while apprentice Ricky George explained that the choice of this kit was intended to improve visibility.
- The kit change highlights Tottenham's priority in European matches and adds a psychological dimension before this high-stakes final, which offers the winner a Champions League spot.
