Why the final is so important for Villarreal
The Yellow Submarine take on United in the highly anticipated final at the Stadion Miejski in Gdansk on 26 May, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bidding to win his first trophy as manager of the club.
Champions League football is also guaranteed for the winner, but of course the Reds have already booked our place in the group stage for 2021/22.
However, for Unai Emery’s side, the final in Poland could prove to be vital.
The 2006 Champions League semi-finalists guaranteed at least a spot in UEFA's new Conference League tournament on Sunday, by virtue of demolishing Sevilla, a side who were title contenders until recently and, of course, knocked us out of Europe last August.
