Sir Alex Ferguson flies out with Manchester United to Gdansk ahead of Europa League final showdown against Villarreal... with legendary former boss set to support from the stands as club look to clinch first trophy since 2017

Sir Alex Ferguson joined Manchester United for their flight to Poland ahead of their Europa League final clash with Villarreal.

United, who have jetted out in search of their first trophy since 2017, boarded their plane on Monday afternoon - and their special guest, legendary former boss Ferguson, was seen in bright spirits ahead of the trip.

Ferguson, 79, is no stranger to crunch ties in Europe, and he will watch on from the stands as United look to secure their maiden piece of silverware under current coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
