Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes winning the Europa League can provide the 'stepping stone' for future trophies.

Solskjaer can win his first piece of silverware as United manager by beating Villarreal in Gdansk on Wednesday.

And the Norwegian thinks success in Poland will be invaluable for his side heading into next season.

"This is a team that we've rebuilt in the last few years, hopefully this is the start of something more," Solskjaer told reporters at a press conference.

"This is the best club in the world. That's the pleasure and the pressure of Manchester United. That's something the players are ready for. They wouldn't have signed here if they weren't top players.

"These are big nights for us. It might be the stepping stone for a big future.

"This group of players has been working for a year and a half together. The next step for them is to enjoy a game like this - I've seen something growing inside of the players."
