The Red Devils have won three of their last four matches at home in this competition, while the other game ended in a defeat.
“We gave ourselves a difficult job, of course, with the sending off last game against Young Boys," United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after their win over Villarreal.
"To get the three points at home is important, we know we need to get to 10 points, maybe 12, to go through, so it was a massive result for the team and, of course, for the spirit of the team.
"It is a better way of winning a game than the way we lost a couple of weeks ago. That’s football - it is highs and lows and, today, we get a result that we are delighted about.”
