Europa League 2019/20: Team of the season

Left-wing - Alfredo Morelos (Rangers)

Morelos has had an excellent season

The Europa League often has a unique knack of springing several surprises and bringing exceptional talents to the European stage, and Alfredo Morelos is arguably the perfect example. The Colombian enjoyed a fruitful season in the Scottish Premiership under Steven Gerrard and also put in some exceptional performances in the Europa League.

Morelos stepped up to the plate with match-winning performances for the Rangers in the Europa League group stages against FC Porto and also salvaged a point for his side with a 13-minute brace against Feyenoord. The Rangers striker has built on his exceptional Europa League form and has become his side's talisman in the Scottish Premiership this season.

The versatile Colombian forward has scored six goals in the Europa League this season and has been one of the highlights of his Rangers team. Alfredo Morelos can also play on either flank and his presence of mind in the final third makes him a reliable source of goals.

Striker - Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan)

Romelu Lukaku has been sensational this season

Romelu Lukaku has experienced an extraordinary renaissance under Antonio Conte and has scored in 11 consecutive European games this season. The Inter Milan striker plundered defences across Europe to take his side to the Europa League final.

Lukaku dispatched his penalty to score Inter Milan's first goal in the final but was unfortunate to play a part in Sevilla's winning goal. The Belgian striker has scored seven goals in the Europa League and took the competition by storm in the semi-final tie against Shakhtar Donetsk last week.

Inter Milan routed the Ukrainian side by a 5-0 margin and Lukaku scored a 5-minute brace in the second half to secure his side's spot in the final. Romelu Lukaku has been near-unstoppable this season and his excellent form bodes well for Inter Milan ahead of its next Serie A campaign.

Right-wing - Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)

Mason Greenwood has been lethal in the final third

Mason Greenwood has been exceptional in his breakthrough season with Manchester United and has become one of the brightest spots of the Red Devils' rise to prominence under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The young English prodigy has been sensational in the Premier League but has arguably taken it up a notch in the Europa League this season.

The 18-year-old striker has scored 5 goals in Manchester United's Europa League campaign and has become one of the first names on the teamsheet under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Manchester United may have lost to Sevilla in the semi-final of the competition but Greenwood's performances will serve as a massive boost to a side that has failed to win a trophy in three seasons.

The English striker has established an excellent relationship with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial and is one of the best young talents in the country. Greenwood is well on his way to becoming a complete forward and his development this season will be integral to Manchester United's future campaigns.
