Manchester United fullback Matteo Darmian insists they're ready for next season's Champions League return.

The Italian was outstanding for United's Europa League final victory over Ajax.

Darmian said: “Yes, of course. Manchester United are used to playing [in the] Champions League. We have won the Europa League and next season we are in the Champions League. We are happy about that."

The Europa League final was an emotional and poignant occasion for everyone associated with Manchester, coming less than 48 hours after the horrific terror attack at the city's Arena.

"I have to say this win is not so sweet as we would have expected, because of what has happened in Manchester," Darmian said solemnly. "Of course, this win was also for the victims and their families that are now in a bad moment."
