Manchester United booked their place in the final against Ajax on May 24 after seeing off Celta Vigo.
However, they made hard work for themselves as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last night, but progressed courtesy of a 2-1 aggregate victory.
Marouane Fellaini netted the opener before the visitors equalised, and it was a nervy final few minutes after Eric Bailly saw red.

“I am more than happy, more than happy if we win the Europa League,” Mourinho said.
