Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes make predictions for Manchester United vs Villarreal final

Rio Ferdinand, Owen Hargreaves and Paul Scholes have backed Manchester United to win the Europa League title this year. The Red Devils have secured their place in the final of the European competition where they will face Unai Emery's Villarreal. "If Manchester United turn up and perform anywhere near their best, they win the game, hands down, probably by a couple of goals," Ferdinand told BT Sport after the Europa League finalists were confirmed. "They’ve got players in there that have won this competition already as well. Unai Emery has got experience but some of these Man United players on the pitch have been there and done it too. "Listen, I don’t see it being a huge problem for Manchester United. But it’s a final and the players won’t look at it like that. They will know they need to prepare right, focus and get the job done." Hargreaves also shared his thoughts, saying: "Unai Emery is close to getting the trophy named after him, the amount of times he’s won it. "It will be a tough game, with Unai’s experience and because Villarreal have a lot of goalscorers in their side. "But Manchester United are favourites. They’ve got the best squad, the most talented players. If the likes of Bruno [Fernandes], [Edinson] Cavani and [Paul] Pogba turn up they should get the job done." Then Scholes added: "I agree with Owen. I haven’t seen a lot of Villarreal and they do have goals in their teams. It’s hard to go against Unai Emery with his record in the competition but United have hit some real form at the right time. "I expect them to win it with the squad they’ve got."
