Eight Manchester United stars in Europa League squad of season

This is a modal window.

Jose Mourinho and Manchester United proved all doubters wrong by winning the Europa League and ensuring a spot in next season's Champions League.

Eight Manchester United players were named in the Europa League squad of the season, selected by UEFA's technical observers.

United, who won the competition with a 2-0 victory over Ajax in Stockholm on Wednesday, had by far the most players in the 18-man selection, with Sergio Romero, Eric Bailly, Daley Blind, Antonio Valencia, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all included.

Runners-up Ajax and semifinalists Celta Vigo and Lyon each contributed three players, while quarterfinalists Anderlecht's Youri Tielemans -- who joined Monaco in a €25 million deal this week -- completes the selection.
