Jose Mourinho recaps Manchester United's win over Celta Vigo and gives his thoughts on Ajax as their opponent in the final.
Instead, they have a chance to add a second big trophy to the League Cup won in February and allow Mourinho to end a complicated maiden campaign as manager by winning the fourth major European honour of his career.
"We go to Stockholm to win the Europa League because it's a great opportunity for us to play Champions League next season".
In those five minutes Eric Bailly saw red and Celta striker John Guidetti missed an open goal with the last kick of the game - which would have seen United dumped out - and Keane was disappointed with the defensive mindset throughout the 90 minutes, calling for the side to become more "ruthless".
"But their level of performance tonight in letting a team like Celta Vigo dictate the game and keep themselves in the game until the last minute is not a good reflection on United".
Mourinho a spot in a final and Jose he feels can be a "perfect" end to the season, with Champions League football on offer for the victor.
"Roncaglia is not new in these situations and Bailly was probably naive. But if everything goes normal and we have no problems, Sergio plays the final".

Zidane was predictably delighted with the display as his side are on the verge of a third Champions League final appearance in four years.
Nerves were shredded at the final whistle but Mourinho's men held on by the skin of their teeth and no one will worry about that before the final in Sweden in 12 days' time. "But over the two games I think our qualification was deserved".
The United boss, however, insists that failure to win the Europa League competition will not define United's season, nor will it determine his own success in his first season at Old Trafford.
"We were better in the first leg and should have had a better result".
The England worldwide will miss the first three games of next season's Champions League campaign as a result.
Romero said of the incident: "If I'm honest, I thought Beauvue was going to shoot and that I would dive".
"This season of course I've not played as much as I'd have liked to, but that's the way it's panned out". I don't think the board feels like that.
