- LB – Luke Shaw : He was substituted at the break against Roma but being the crucial player he will start in the final.
- CDM – Nemanja Matic : Coach Ole might go for Donny van de Beek also. But in finals, the experience of Matic might be useful.
- CDM – Fred : He picked up a booking against Roma. Mc Tominay is just another option in defensive midfield. Let’s see with whom the coach will go.
- RM – Marcus Rashford : Mason Greenwood has impressed with his performances and is pushing for inclusion on the back of prolific recent form, but Solskjær may opt in favour of Marcus Rashford’s greater experience.
- CAM – Bruno Fernandes : Bruno just won the Sir Matt Busby Award for second consecutive year. He will be the first player to have his name in the starting XI.
- LM – Paul Pogba : Pogba has found back his form and is looking happy at Manchester United. It is most likely that Ole will go with Pogba at the left wing.
- ST – Edinson Cavani : Cavani just signed new contract with Manchester United. His amazing performance against Roma in the semi final cannot be forgotten. He will definitely start at the forward position.
Villarreal Probable Starting XI vs Manchester United

- CB – Raul Albiol : After his return from Serie A, he is more competitive, smarter, oozing leadership, brilliant in the air, and looking several years younger than his passport age.
- CB – Pau Torres : The 24-year-old centre-back has attracted attention from several of Europe’s leading lights. He will be keeping the defence with veteran Albiol.
- LB – Alfonso Pedraza : The 25-year-old can produce a complete performance. Alfonso Pedraza will be lining up at left back along with both the defencers.
- RM – Francis Coquelin: Coquelin who only featured from the bench last time out, ought to start on in midfield against United.
- LM – Manu Trigueros : Manu Trigueros, having played in central midfield last time out, ought to move out to the right wing in Chukwueze’s absence.
- CM – Dani Parejo : Parejo has been the signing of the season for Unai Emery. He will try and create openings for his attacking teammates.
- CM – Etienne Capoue : He missed the second leg due to suspension, but now he will be controlling the midfield in the finals.
- ST – Gerard Moreno : Moreno is a regular starter for the team. The coach will have to decide who gets to start alongside Moreno in the attack.
- ST – Carlos Bacca : Paco Alcácer has scored six goals in the competition this term but the two-time Europa League winner Carlos Bacca impressed in the team’s last two Liga matches.
