Given their sixth-place finish in the Premier League, the stakes are particularly high for Manchester United and their first-year head coach, Jose Mourinho. Mourinho, who won the UEFA Cup (as the Europa League was then known) with Porto in 2003, has chosen to rest many of his key players in domestic matches. “This game (the Europa League final) is our season,” added 19-year-old striker Marcus Rashford. Failure to add a second trophy to the League Cup win in February would put Mourinho under pressure. They are one of only four clubs to win all three major European tournaments – the European Cup, the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup.
