Evening all. Surely United can't mess it up from here? Surely Celta can't be so useless again? We're about to find out!

Anyway that's about us - enjoy the rest of your night. I'm off for a lie down.
22:02
So United get it done. They were good in moments, atrocious for periods, and will be without Eric Bailly in the final. Celta's players are crying; they'll regret the chances Guidetti missed tonight, but really they lost this last week.

Full-time: Manchester United 1-1 Celta Vigo (agg 2-1) MANCHESTER UNITED WILL MEET AJAX IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL!

OH MY DAYS! Mallo launches the ball downfield, United make an absurd mess of defending it as Celta get the flick-on. Beauveau turns it around the corner, Bongonda might shoot, but instead crosses for Guidetti WHO CAN'T TURN IT HOME!
90+5'
This astoundingly tense! United have no business finding themselves in this position!

Fellaini goes down the right, Pogba lunges in front of Mallo to allows the ball to pass them both, and Herrera punches home ... but the ref spotted the infringement, and blew the whistle well before the ball hit the net. What larks, dear old Pip, dear old chap!
90+3'
Beauvue takes possession down the left and Pogba holds him up, though gives him no reason to attempt a cross from 40 yards out ... it sails to the back post, where Romero claims easily.
90+3'
With more time wasted, United go to the corner. What a deeply unimpressive performance this has been.
90+1'
I'm a little surprised Mourinho brought Rooney on, not Jones. Anyway, Herrera is down with either cramp or "cramp", perhaps both. Cabral then fouls Fellaini, leaping with a forearm to the neck, and United waste more time.
90+1'
Perhaps United should concede now, to give them time to score a winner?
90'
There are going to be six added minutes!
90'
Or, put another way, United are not replete with out-balls. Conversely, this game is going to be replete with added time

Two changes for United: Rooney and Smalling on, Lingard and Rashford off.

Two red cards! One for Bailly and one for Roncaglia! Celta would've taken that! Herrera goes down under a challenge, there's a kerfuffle, Bailly shoves Guidetti who takes a tumble with double-tuck, various others hold him back, Valencia shoves someone else, Roncaglia grabs Pogba from the back, and he and Bailly are dismissed! The state of this!

GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Celta Vigo (Roncaglia) agg 2-1 Oh! The corner goes short, Bongonda curls it into the box, and Bailly can't get to Roncaglia, who guides a header into the far corner! Can Celta get another? Can United hold out! Now it's nervy!

Celta are ramping it up here! Hernandez finds Aspas in the box, and he leathers a shot goalwards, only for Bailly to fling himself at it and shoulder it away! Brilliant defending!
83'
Bongonda sends the ball wide to Beauvue, and his cross is a jazzer, skipping off Blind's tousles and heading for Aspas ... but Herrera is there to guide behind. The corner comes to nothing.
82'
Lyon now lead Ajax 3-1 on the night; they need one more to force extra-time.
82'
It's a curious old thing, this. United aren't quite nervy, but know that one mistake and they'll be very nervy.

Beauvue accepts possession on the left and skirts Herrera, already committed to the challenge. Free-kick and booking, then Bailly is up to head away strongly; he's going to be a player.
