United hang on against Celta to reach Europe League final

United, who won 2-1 on aggregate, will face Ajax Amsterdam in Stockholm on May 24 after the Dutch side overcame Olympique Lyonnais 5-4 on aggregate after a 3-1 defeat. United will play in their first Europa League final and their first European showpiece match since losing in the 2011 Champions League. 

Leading 1-0 from the first leg of the semi-final in Spain, United thought they had killed off the tie when Marouane Fellaini headed them in front after 17 minutes. Facundo Roncaglia headed the visitors level in the 85th minute, meaning another goal for the Spaniards could have put them through on away goals. Tempers flared shortly afterwards when United’s Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly lashed out at John Guidetti, who fell to the ground.
