Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes admits winning the Europa League final will mean everything to him.

Fernandes will have a key role to play against Villarreal next Wednesday, with the 26-year-old desperate to add to the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award he collected on Tuesday.

“It means a lot," he said after winning it for the second straight season. “I always said individual trophies are really good for players.

“It lifts you up, of course. I would never say I don't want individual trophies.

“(But) it's not more important than a group trophy, a team trophy, for me, but it is always important.

“It is something you're doing well, you're doing your game really good, doing the right things, it means you can do a little bit more, means you can also improve a little bit more.

“But at the same time it means people are liking you, the way you play, the way you're trying to help the team, the way you do things – so that is more important for me.

“But more important than that is winning a trophy at the end of the season and this is all about this because football is a team sport and for me it's about winning trophies."
