Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says a Manchester United win over Villarreal in the Europa League final could be a "stepping stone for a big future".
Solskjaer, a Champions League winner with United as a player, has yet to win a trophy since taking charge of the club in 2018-19.
"This is a team that we've rebuilt in the last few years. Hopefully this is the start of something more," he said.
United have not won a major trophy for four years, but Solskjaer said he was "quietly confident" of beating Villarreal, who finished seventh in Spain's La Liga in 2020-21.
There are plans for 2,000 fans of each club to be present at the final.
Thirty minutes' extra time will be played if the scores are level after 90 minutes. The final will be decided by a penalty shootout if the scores are still level after 120 minutes.
United face Villarreal in Gdansk, Poland, on Wednesday (20:00 BST).
