Manchester United vs Villarreal live stream: How to watch Europa League final online and on TV tonight
Manchester United face Villarreal in the Europa League final looking to grab their first piece of silverware in four years in Gdansk.
The Red Devils locked up Champions League football for next season with a second-placed finish in the Premier League.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will now be determined to deliver his first trophy in charge at Old Trafford to cement his credentials and continue United’s recent resurgence.
Unai Emery will see this as a chance at redemption less than 18 months after being sacked by Arsenal, who were beaten by the Spaniards in the semi-finals.

What was the team news?
Tottenham loanee Juan Foyth (hamstring) is a doubt for Villarreal, meaning Mario Gaspar should start, while winger Samuel Chukwueze is also doubtful after missing the game against Real Madrid last weekend. Former Leicester midfielder Vicente Iborra has been ruled out with damaged knee ligaments, with his absence stretching back to December.
Former Tottenham and Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue can return after serving a suspension in the second leg of the semi-final against Arsenal, which means Francis Coquelin should miss out in the battle to partner Dani Parejo in midfield.
Geronimo Rulli, who started both legs of the semi-final against Arsenal, could drop out with Sergio Asenjo starting between the sticks, while Emery must also decide between Carlos Bacca and Paco Alcacer to partner Gerard Moreno.
Solskjaer, meanwhile, is likely to be without captain Harry Maguire, despite travelling with the squad to Poland. The 28-year-old is facing a race against time to be available for England at Euro 2020 this summer after missing four games for his club with an ankle ligament injury.
Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof should therefore start at the back for United, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw back after resting against Wolves. Fred’s minor knock should not prevent him from joining Scott McTominay in the line-up.
Anthony Martial is out, while Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes should come back in for Amad Diallo, Daniel James and Juan Mata. Solskjaer’s final decision will likely be who leads the attack, with Edinson Cavani the favourite over Mason Greenwood.
