How much Manchester United and Tottenham have earned in Europa League prize money after Quarter-Final wins

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both through to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals — and with that progress comes a significant boost in prize money.
Both clubs were in action on Thursday night in high-stakes second-leg ties. After first-leg draws, the pressure was on — but the Premier League duo delivered when it mattered most.

United and Spurs Seal Semi-Final Spots
Manchester United hosted Lyon at Old Trafford following a 2-2 draw in France. Erik ten Hag’s side responded in thrilling fashion with a 5-4 victory on the night, progressing 7-6 on aggregate. Goals from Manuel Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire sealed the win.
Meanwhile, Tottenham travelled to Germany to face Eintracht Frankfurt after a 1-1 draw in north London. A first-half penalty from Dominic Solanke proved decisive, sending Spurs through 2-1 on aggregate. The result may also provide Ange Postecoglou with some breathing room amid intense pressure surrounding his future.

Tottenham’s Managerial Uncertainty
Despite progression, speculation continues around Tottenham’s head coach. Reports suggest the club has approached Oliver Glasner — the man who guided Frankfurt to Europa League glory in 2022 — as Daniel Levy considers potential managerial options. For now, however, Postecoglou remains in charge with a semi-final to prepare for.
