Solskjaer insists Man Utd always serious about Europa League; supports Glazers

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says they've always valued the Europa League.

United meet Roma in the first-leg of their semifinal tomorrow night.

Solskjaer said: "We have had a great night in this tournament before. Our focus is on ending the season with a celebration.

"As soon as we went out of Champions League our focus was getting to a final. We feel we have been in a proper competition, we have enjoyed it.

"It will be a dream come true the day I can lift a trophy for this club as a manager. That is what we're building for.

"It is ifs and buts, but our ambition is to finish this season with a trophy and to celebrate. I know what that can mean for the group."

Solskjaer was also asked about the protests against the club's owners, the Glazer family.

He also said, "I have very good relationship with the owners and the club. They listen to my views. I have had so many years here at the club that I am looking to bring success.

"We have to go that one step further and win."
