Europa win gave Manchester 'lift' - Sir Alex

Manchester United are now hopeful of seeing David de Gea remain at Old Trafford this season after claiming a place in next season's Champions League group stages by winning the Europa League on Wednesday night, according to reports. "It had nothing to do with qualifying for the Champions League", he said.

"This was, I would say, more special than any other trophy because of that", the Spain worldwide said.

Pogba, who rejoined the 20-times English champions last summer from Juventus for 89 million pounds (115.43 million US dollars), fired United ahead in the 18th minute in Stockholmhelped by a massive deflection off Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez. In sporting terms, though, this was a key victory at the end of an arduous 64-game season for United.

"Today was all or nothing - nearly nothing for us", Mata said, before smiling. Additionally, the Red Devils had not won this trophy before, and while it may not carry the same prestige as a Premier League or a Champions League triumph, it means they have completed the full set."I agree with UEFA's decision to play the match but if we have questions like your questions that make us return to the tragedy it obviously takes happiness from our achievement".

"For me, it is the most important trophy of my career because it is the last", Mourinho said, having added to this season's Community Shield and EFL Cup successes.

United are unsure what else Rooney's camp now have in terms of options, but they hope a golden handshake will speed up the exit process.

"We play Champions League next season, we could celebrate three trophies and we are happy for that. Big clubs that me as a player love to play, so I feel really proud to have won my first European trophy with United - but hopefully it is the first of many".

Mourinho's team also booked a ticket to the UEFA Super Cup on 8th August where they will face either Real Madrid or Juventus.
