Jose Mourinho: Man Utd season successful without Europa League

Manchester United's season will be a success even if they lose the Europa League final, says boss Jose Mourinho.

However Mourinho accepts it would "make sense" for the season to be viewed as a failure if United, who edged out Celta Vigo to reach the final, lose to Ajax.

Mourinho, 54, became the first manager in United history to win a major trophy in his first season when he claimed the EFL Cup in February.

"We did things nobody did in this club in the first season," said Mourinho.

The Portuguese guided his team to a record 25-game unbeaten run in the Premier League before it was ended by Arsenal on Sunday to dent their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
