Manchester United last met Premier League opponents in Europe in the 2015/16 Europa League round of 16, losing 1-3 on aggregate to Liverpool (0-2 a, 1-1 h). This is United's second all-English European final. They beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties in the 2007/08 Champions League following a 1-1 draw at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.

Manchester United's starting lineup for Friday's Premier League match at Chelsea will not be influenced by the upcoming Europa League final, but players susceptible to injuries will not be risked, manager Ruben Amorim said.

Ruben Amorim has said he will not quit as Manchester United coach but insisted he will be sacked if results do not pick up.
