The match comes less than two weeks after both teams successfully navigated their semi-final ties, with Spurs overcoming Bodo/Glimt and United defeating Athletic Bilbao.
Thousands of supporters are expected to travel to northern Spain for the final.
However, many may be tempted to turn to unofficial sources as official allocations are quickly snapped up.
