Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has challenged his Manchester United players to win the Europa League and use it as a springboard to get back to the top.
United face Villarreal in the final in Gdansk on Wednesday, with Solskjaer looking to lift his first trophy since taking charge at Old Trafford.
And the United boss has urged his players to make history by lifting the trophy and use the victory to take United back to the big time.
“I think players, when they get the taste of success, when they win trophies, win something, it can go two ways,” said Solskjaer.
“It can be 'we've done it now and we can relax' or, as I've had a few times, it just gives you more of that feeling.
“You want more, you want it all the time, you want the feeling again with your teammates, with your club.
“This group of players has been working hard for a year, a year-and-a-half, together and it's the next step for them now to go and enjoy a game like this.
“I trust these players, these players are ready for this and that's the main thing.
“I've seen something grow inside of them, they're more and more confident, more robust, more resilient and, as a group, I'm confident we're ready for this now.”
On United shouldering the burden of being favourites, Solskjaer said: Every player who goes into a final has the expectation and pressure to win.
“We prepare to win, we plan to win, we expect to win. It's been a long qualification to get here and it's 50-50 when you get to a final.
“I'm confident we're ready for this, but in a final anything can happen, you can concede a goal in the first minute, have an injury, get a player sent off, anything can happen.
“So far we've improved, but we'll only go home happy if we win.”
On injured skipper Harry Maguire, Solskajer said: “Harry's is going to jog up and down the sideline a bit, I reckon, and he'll probably try to join in."
