Europa League - How United won it in 2017

While the two London clubs prepare for action in Azerbaijan tonight, we're remembering how the Reds secured European silverware at the end of the 2016/17 season.

Goals from Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan did the business for Jose Mourinho’s men, against an Ajax side featuring several players who were part of the Amsterdam club’s run to this season’s Champions League semi-finals - the likes of André Onana, Matthijs de Ligt, Frenkie de Jong, Lasse Schöne and Joël Veltman.

You can watch the strikes from that historic night in the Swedish capital below.

The 2017 success meant United had completed the set of major trophies available to be won in the club's history, having already won the European Cup/UEFA Champions League three times (1968, 1999, 2008) and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1991, plus all three domestic competitions on numerous occasions.
