Mourinho: Romero will start Europa League final

Manchester United should be "embarrassed" at trailing Premier League leaders Chelsea by 19 points and Jose Mourinho's first year in charge will not be considered a success even if they win the Europa League, former skipper Roy Keane said.

"Some kept their control in a better way than others", said Mourinho. "But if everything goes normal and we have no problems, Sergio plays the final".

Mourinho has warned changes will be afoot regardless of Palace's situation by then and suggests rotation is also on the cards for their final two away games, starting at White Hart Lane.

"In the Premier League, we can only finish fifth or sixth, I think".

"Tonight we suffered, but we're in the final and we've fought hard to get there". Three minutes later, Guidetti failed to score on one final chance inside the box.

United midfielder Ander Herrera said: "It was a insane game and we suffered, but we're in the final".

"You can not win a semi final easily, or be calm. We're in the final, that's what counts".

While services account for 40-45% of India's total exports, a major portion of our service exports come for the IT service sector. The company is expected to lay off at least 6,000 employees or about 2.3% of its workforce, according to a Business Today report.

"For a club like Man United to win the League Cup and the Europa League, with the teams that are in it, you would expect them to do that", Keane told ITV.

"It means an opportunity to end the season in the ideal way because the final is the last match of the season".

Mourinho says he has worked "harder than ever" during his maiden United campaign, which has already featured a League Cup triumph and victory over Leicester City in the Community Shield.

Whereas Ajax's season finishes tomorrow, United still have three league games to play - beginning with a clash against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow - and Mourinho said he would have no qualms about making sure his players are in top shape for the trip to Sweden. "But I don't feel like that". "It is fair Sergio is going to play the final and David de Gea accepts".

"I don't know (the details of) the incident but we have lost a very important player for the final and we don't have many".

And Romero, with this in mind, has battled hard - mainly in his own mind, you feel - to recover from a shaky start to life at Old Trafford this season. Sometimes you get into big clubs in difficult moments and the work is harder than at a smaller club in a moment of positive explosion.
