Manchester United win Europa League
Manchester United had a lot to celebrate on Wednesday evening when they finally claimed a spot in the Champions League by winning the Europa League.
This is the first time that Manchester United have won the Europa League.
Jose Mourinho’s men were on point from the start, creating opportunities and keeping opponents, Ajax, at bay.
Young French star, Paul Pogba, scored the first goal of the match in the 18th minute, and just before half-time, Armenian international, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, scored United’s second goal.
However, it was as sombre win for the Red Devils, who were playing to honour the victims of a deadly terrorist attack in their home city of Manchester.
On Monday evening, a lone suicide attack at Ariana Grande’s concert in the Manchester Arena, killed 22 people.
After the game, manager Jose Mourinho said the win was dedicated to the victims of the attack.
“If we could, we would obviously change the people’s lives for this cup, immediately…We wouldn’t think twice. Does this cup make the city of Manchester a little bit happier? Maybe. But we just came to do our job [sic],” he told reporters.
