At Decines-Charpieu, France:

At Manchester, England:

Marouane Fellaini scored what proved to be the series-winning goal in the 17th minute as Manchester United settled for a 1-1 game-two home draw with Celta Viga, good enough for the Red Devils to oust the Spanish club 2-1 on aggregate.

The Europa League Final is set to take place on May 24 at Friends Arena in Solna, Sweden with the winner qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League.
