Bruno Fernandes says winning the Europa League can be the first step towards getting back to the top.
Fallen giants United take on rivals in an all-or-nothing £100million all-English showdown in Bilbao. As well as the trophy, the winners will earn a money-spinning ticket straight into next season's , where United skipper Fernandes is adamant the Red Devils belong.
Bullish Fernandes said: “We want to be at the top of everything. Not only the , not only the Premier League, we want to be at the top of the , League Cup - everything we're involved in. Our goal is always to be fighting to win trophies and that's what we want.
"Now we have a big chance in a competition where our aim since the beginning of the season was being here in Bilbao. The main thing is that our team gets to bring the trophy back to Manchester because everyone will have time to lift the trophy one at a time. The main thing is the red shirts lifting the trophy here.

“As players, we're just thinking of what we have ahead of us and what we have ahead of us is a chance to get our hands on a trophy. What it can affect is the future. Winning a competition gives you a lot of things. In this case a place in the Champions League and a lot of revenue for the club.
“But the main thing for us is to focus on what we have ahead of us - a massive final against a team that we know very well.” United boss Ruben Amorim echoed his captain and said: “I will say it again - for me we have bigger things to deal with to put this club back at the top.
“But tomorrow is important for us, for our fans, for that feeling of winning. We have a lot to do in our club, not just winning here, but it is massive for us and our fans.”
