there was a sense that manchester united had to deliver. they had an opportunity to give something back and they did exactly that. they would have been forgiven for feeling the pressure, fulfilling tension but they got off toa fulfilling tension but they got off to a great shot with a deflected shot. ajax knew they had to attack but it was united who extended their lead in the second half. a delightfulflick, putting lead in the second half. a delightful flick, putting united lead in the second half. a delightfulflick, putting united 2—0 up. that was how will remain. emotional scenes at the end. jose mourinho had remained impassive and finally let his emotions out. there was a sense of great relief notjust for him in his players but also for the many thousands of fans who are here and those watching back home. it is the most important trophy of my career because it is the last. that is the way i look at things. of course, the champions league is bigger than the u roper league but thatis bigger than the u roper league but that is the last t

another thursday night of blue and white for manchester united. last week city, now celta vigoment for jose mourinho this may even be the bigger gamement for winning the europa league is now his season's goal, the problem stood in the opposing goal. marcus rashford was the first to work. celta vigo's goalkeeper was inspired denying manchester united at every turn. one man's frustration is another‘s defiance. they played the 18th theme at half—time perhaps to set the scene for a daring raid. it would only take one shot, one deflection. the manchester united squad is the most expensive, but they give free—kick to say a lad who cost nothing, here is why, marcus rashford, proof you can hunt the world for magic, but you might find it on your doorstep. the teenager who won the quarterfinal set them on their way in the semifinal. the plan is coming together. millwall were held to a goalless draw at home to scunthorpe in their league one play—off first leg. in the other tie, it's advantage bradford. rory mcardle‘s header gave them a 1—0 win ov

on the eve of the europa league final, manchester united hold a minutes silence. united hold a minutes silence. united ‘s opponents say the final has lost its glow. hello and welcome to the programme. there is only one place to start, and that is in manchester. treasury agents have unfolded over the past 24 agents have unfolded over the past 2a hours or so and have resonated all around the world. but in the city, it has also been felt in a sporting context. manchester united, a worldwide brand, notjust a football club, based ajax. the hierarchy at old trafford have been reacting along with many others to the news that 22 people died in what prime minister theresa may has called a "callous terrorist attack". austin halewood reports... the people of manchester will put together as one. that is the message from jose mourinho, as the tragic events of monday night's attacks cast a shadow over their preparations for the rope elite final. before flanker stockham, they held a minute silence at their training base in memory of those who their lives. with thousands of fan

he looked glad when manchester united attack ended rather predictably without a goal. southampton have gone five hours without one at saint mary ‘s. there was little to show for either side and little to enjoy for the fans either. i think it was a good game for two teams that are not playing for two teams that are not playing for any big targets. i think it was a good game. they wanted to win, we wanted to win, we made lots of changes, but at the end of the day they had good chances and we had good chances. i think it was good football, so i think i have to be happy with my players, especially because they have one of the biggest matches of their career in one week and they still managed to focus and be professional. a very different view from the rest of us. a very different view from the rest of us. watford have kept up their impressive rate of manager turnover. walter mazzari has been sacked with two years left on his contract and the next man in will be the ninth manager in five years at vicarage road. his tenure has lasted less than a year. the italian will go a

this morning manchester, united. troops are to be deployed at key locations and events after the official terror threat was raised to the highest level "critical" last night. this means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent. the home secretary amber rudd says it seems highly likely that the bomber, 22—year—old salman abedi, was not acting alone. it's thought that he may have visited libya very recently and returned only a few days ago. it is somebody who they had known before and i'm sure when this investigation concludes we will be able to find out more.

amid a measured security presence, thousands of manchester united fans we re thousands of manchester united fans were here to support but also to be pa rt were here to support but also to be part ofan were here to support but also to be part of an expression of sporting solidarity. it's a lot more than a football match now, it's about showing our respects. obviously, the tragedy in manchester, the kids and people that lost their lives. how hard will this be for the team? it's got to spur them on. they have got to win it for manchester and make manchester proud. inside a stadium filled with emotion, the players emerged, sports significant split firmly into is perspective. united aware however, that if ever the city needed a performance to be proud of, it was no. both teams taking their place in the centre circle is football paid its respects. silence. the silence was quickly followed by applause. cheering and applause. if united felt the pressure, it did not show. paul pogba's deflected shot giving his side the start they had grave. manchester united lead. the sense of release obvious

manchester united have survived a late scare and a scrap to reach the europa league final. and champions league qualification is still on the cards too as they beat celta vigo 2—1 on aggregate after a dramatic 1—1 draw in the second leg at old trafford. our correspondent andy swiss is there for us now and can tell us the story of a match that got more and more intense as the night went on. it did, and i think it's fair to say the united fans are leaving briefing a hefty sigh of relief. that was some scare. they went into the night full of confidence because they led 1-0 full of confidence because they led 1—0 after the first leg and things seem to be going smoothly in the first leg. it was after 15 minutes when united took the lead on the night, a fantastic cross from marcus rashford headed home by marouane fellaini. that put them 2—0 up on aggregate. so it continued until five minutes from the end. celta vigo had been threatening through the second half, equalised with five minutes to go, and that meant that if they got one more goal, they would go through, because

manchester united are going to arsenal. any other year, you'd think there would be a lot riding on this, but could be a strange old game that one, because jose mourinho clearly prioritising europe as the easiest way into the champions league. they're two games away from winning the europa league. especially with them having such a good result over at celta vigo with getting the away goal and coming back with victory. they're potentially two games away from not only winning a major trophy but being back in the champions league. if you'd have said to anybody three oi’ if you'd have said to anybody three orfour if you'd have said to anybody three or four years if you'd have said to anybody three oi’ four years ago if you'd have said to anybody three orfour years ago that if you'd have said to anybody three or four years ago that arsenal, man united three games to go in the season wasn't going to be anything on it, you'd have got laughed at. it's disappointing for both clubs that they've drift add way. man united have this
