Manchester United vs Villarreal head to head: Tale of the tape for Europa League Final

Manchester United and Villarreal go toe-to-toe looking to win the Europa League in Gdansk on Wednesday.

Triumphing on Wednesday would bring the first trophy of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign as United manager, which began in December 2018.

The Red Devils boss said on Sunday: “You always feel pressure at Man United to win things, win trophies. That’s one of the steps.

“I’ve said it before - sometimes a trophy can hide other imperfections. I think the progress in the league (United finished sixth in 2018-19, then third last season), that we’ve been in loads of semi-finals, I think it shows progress, and all my discussions with the club and dialogue, we see that we have improved.

“But the next step for this team is to win trophies and then hopefully challenge (to be) the champion in the Premier League as well.”

Here is how the two finalists compare in terms of the vital statistics...
