Mikel Arteta reacts to Tottenham reaching Europa League final vs Manchester United

Mikel Arteta insists he unfazed by the prospect of Tottenham ending their trophy drought if they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final this month.

Arsenal will finish the campaign without silverware following their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final this week.

Meanwhile, Spurs have endured a miserable season in the Premier League but Ange Postecoglou could still come away with a trophy this term as they will play United in the Europa League final in Bilbao on May 21.

Spurs have not won a trophy since beating Chelsea in the League Cup final in 2008, while their last success in Europe was a UEFA Cup victory in 1984.

When asked about the prospect of seeing Spurs win the Europa League this season, Arteta replied: ‘For me, I have enough looking at my own garden.’

‘What Arne did was very intelligent,’ Arteta said.
