Winning The Europa League Is A Must For Us -Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan says winning the Europa League final against Ajax is the only option they have. A win on Wednesday night would see them claim their third trophy of the season after the EFL Cup and Community Shield, and would also hand them a spot in the Champions League group stage for next season.

Jose Mourinho has described the game as the biggest in United's history, and Mkhitaryan also claimed it is one of the most important of his own career.

Mkhitaryan said “I can say that of course there is only one choice and that is to win, we are not going to the final to lose. We want to win and have to win, for us it is very important to win this trophy, and also the opportunity to play in the Champions League because Manchester United are not the team who has to play three years in a row in the Europa League. It's going to be one of the most important games in my life. I don't want to lose this opportunity. I am only thinking of winning that game, I know we are able to win, and I know it will be a big pleasure to win it. If we are going to win the Europa League final it will be an amazing season for us, because have already won two trophies, and this one would be the third one. I will not be nervous because I'm not a kid anymore. I know how to handle the pressure, how to get ready for that game, just play my game and be myself. I watched some Ajax games, they are a young team, have very good football players individually, and I can say they are very aggressive, they are trying to play the football they are used to playing.”
