United were fortunate to reach the Stockholm showpiece in their bid for Champions League qualification next season after playing out a 1-1 draw in Friday's (AEST) semi-final second leg, in which Eric Bailly and Facundo Roncaglia saw red late on.

"Credit to United, they've got to the final and that's been the plan for the last few months", Keane said on ITV.

"But they got away with it tonight, they've got to be better - be more ruthless". It's not just tonight, it's been all season.

"Yes, results and trophies are what matters to Jose Mourinho, and his side have won the tie and are into the Europa League final, but the way they did it was not very entertaining".

Mourinho rested players last weekend in preparation for this game, making eight alterations to his starting line-up for the 2-0 Premier League defeat at Arsenal.

Celta had United on edge throughout and had substitute Claudio Beauvue shot rather than crossed when he found himself six yards from goal in stoppage time, they might have gone through. "I think our opponents wanted to break up our fluidity". With all the effort we put in, it was a great shame not to reach the final.

United have moved to maximise tickets for their fans by holding an event for staff at Old Trafford rather than taking them to Sweden.

The High Negotiations Committee (HNC), the main Syrian opposition umbrella group, criticised the plan as vague and illegitimate. The U.S. and Russian Federation signed the memorandum in 2015 when Russian Federation began its air operations in the country.

The FC panel are critical of how unimpressive Man United's Europa League victory over Celta Vigo was.

"I couldn't be more proud of my players". We played, we tried to win.

David De Gea did participate in the group stages, but Mourinho opted to give Romero some deserved playing time after Christmas where the Argentina worldwide put in some impressive, assured performances, so much so that it seemed as though the Man Utd manager was going to have a bit of a dilemma on his hands. Romero has now made 26 appearances for United since his arrival from Italian club Sampdoria in the summer of 2015 with more than half of them, 14, coming in European competition.

Mourinho, whose team are sixth in the Premier League, said: "Obviously now Ajax think about the final".

When told that it was actually Guidetti that went down before Roncaglia was also sent for an early bath, he added: "I really didn't see the incident".

UEFA rules only allow for appeals in the case of mistaken identity.
