Not all of Manchester United's players will be cheered on by their partners in the Europa League final against Tottenham tomorrow night. Ruben Amorim's side head to Bilbao needing a win to salvage an otherwise wretched season, with the club already confined to their worst-ever Premier League finish.

The manager has dipped into his own pocket to ensure club staff can bring family members to the game, a privilege they were previously denied. However, there have been no such problems for the players, who were reportedly fitted in £1,000 Paul Smith suits on Monday ahead of their flight to Spain. However, Victor Lindelof's wife, Maja, won't be among the WAGS in the 50,000 seater stadium.

The 31-year-old has confirmed she will be staying at home due to being heavily pregnant. The couple's third child is due imminently, with Maja confirming on social media that she would not be travelling this week.

On Monday, she took to and posted a photo of her baby bump on her story with the caption: "This week's plan - eat chocolate and sleep."

The pair married in May 2018 in Sweden and have since had two sons, aged six and three, together. Maga will remain in the family home in Manchester with the two boys, Ted Louie and Francis, who were involved in an incident that saw Lindelof hastily exit United's Europa League quarter-final win over Lyon at half-time.

Initially, his departure was clouded in mystery, before Maga explained she had received a phone call from their babysitter to reveal Francis was being taken to the hospital after splitting his head on a glass staircase. The family spent two days in the hospital before being able to return home following a successful operation.

"He had to have plastic surgery to put his forehead back together," he said. "He was put under anaesthetic. It is the first time I have experienced something like this happening with one of my children. It was incredibly unpleasant, and not something I want to experience again."

Lindelof, 30, has since returned to the United squad and is in contention to start the final in Bilbao. Fellow centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and are ruled out, while Leny Yoro's fitness is also in doubt
