Europa League: Trophyless season not a success, says Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted that only titles matter at Old Trafford after Manchester United ended up an unexpected second in the Premier League and finished runners-up in the Europa League final.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conceded that this season has not been a success for Manchester United as he insisted that only titles matter at Old Trafford. However, Solksjaer believes his squad has the right characters to do better next term. United lost the Europa League final 11-10 on penalties following a 1-1 draw against Villarreal on Wednesday, leaving the club without a trophy since 2017. "It's not a successful season of course," Solskjaer told a news conference after keeper David de Gea had his spot kick saved by his Villarreal counterpart Geronimo Rulli, who had just scored what proved to be the winning penalty.
