Europa League: Man United through to the final

Manchester United moved a step closer to a first Europa League triumph – and a Champions League return – by creeping past Celta Vigo to reach the final, the BBC reports.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, United took control as Marouane Fellaini headed home Marcus Rashford’s cross.

But Celta, needing two goals, levelled on the night through Facundo Roncaglia to set up a nervy finish.

United’s Eric Bailly and Roncaglia were sent off after a mass brawl as the hosts joined Ajax in the final.

The Red Devils will meet the Dutch side, who beat Lyon in the other semi-final, in Stockholm on 24 May, with the winners guaranteed a place in next season’s Champions League.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
