Villarreal vs Manchester United Preview
It will be the first Europa League final for Villarreal, who is coming off a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in a La Liga showdown on May 22. Yeremi Pino scored the only goal for the Yellow Submarine, who ended their La Liga campaign on a bad note, but they also defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the final four to get to this point.
On the other side, United is fresh from a 2-1 win over the Wolverhampton Wanderers on May 23 to put an end to the Premier League season. Juan Mata and Anthony Elanga scored the only goals for Manchester, who will likely be forced to play this game without captain Harry Maguire, who has been dealing with a an ankle ligament injury.
“He’s walking, but it’s a long way from walking to running so to be honest, I don’t think we’ll see him in Gdansk, no,” United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said about Maguire.
“Of course he wants to play, it’s going to be up to the doctor to say if he’s ready,” Solskjaer added. “I don’t expect him to play, it doesn’t look great. I’m forever the optimist, I’m still hopeful. He has to train on Tuesday when we’re over there if he is to play. It’s not many days, I don’t expect him to be ready.”
Mata, who spent three seasons under current Villarreal skipper Unai Emery when both were with Valencia, has told his teammates to prepare for a hard-fought battle. “We have to be ready. I think it’s the biggest game in their history,” Mata said. “We need to realize that they will give everything and more, so we need to be prepared for that. Villarreal is a club that has been doing a lot of good things over the last 15 or 20 years. On and off the pitch, it’s a very well structured club.”
Here’s a look at the predicted lineups for both teams:
Villarreal Predicted Lineup: Sergio Asenjo; Alfonso Pedraza, Pau Torres, Raul Albiol, Mario Gaspar; Etienne Capoue, Dani Parejo, Manuel Trigueros; Yeremi Pino, Gerard Moreno, Carlos Bacca
Manchester United Predicted Lineup: David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Fred, Scott McTominay; Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba; Edinson Cavani
