Ajax -Vs- Man Utd - Europa League last-32 first-leg

NeVeR

Kick Off 18:00

Live on: 3e / Five
Online : check out www.aertv.ie and select 3e

Patrice Evra, Ryan Giggs and Dimitar Berbatov all rested

ShamoBuc

Should be a very interesting game. Score draw I'd say.
Berbatov is getting alot of rest lately.

NeVeR

He's well rested.

Ah i'd say it's a Utd 2-0 win,

Ajax are having a bad run at the min,, anything can change tho.

We should be going all out to win this Tournament - Might end up with a double for the season

NeVeR

Manchester United squad: De Gea, Amos; Fabio, Rafael, Evans, Jones, Smalling, Fryers, Ferdinand; Valencia, Nani, Carrick, Young, Park, Scholes, Cleverley, Pogba; Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck.

I'd say the starting line up will be

---

De Gea

---

Smalling--Evans--Ferdinand--Rafael
-Valencia--Carrick--Scholes--Park
----Rooney----Welbeck


There are a few younger lads in the squad that might get a surprise start, Nani and Jones are just back from injuries so I dont think they will start.

Young might start instead of Park as well.

adox

Live on 3E too.

Should be a comfortable win for United.

Is the Europa League not on 3e this year?

Rekop dog

Would have been a decent game circa 1995!

LostBoy101

Ajax have a lot of injuries so the youngsters they have for tonight lack the experience but I'm sure it will be an interesting game.

Rekop dog

They're sixth in the Eredivisie which is pretty gash so United's second string should beat them fairly comfortably over the tie.

united to win by four or more.

Seen it on www.manutd.com that the match is on Channel 5 in the UK. Interesting as I got a free app from App store last week on iPad called 4 films or something like that (memory is shot to bits) which defo had Channel 5 as one of the TV stations it shows live. Hopefully so, as it means I can watch the match online with English commentary for once

it's probably geolocked.

which means connecting from an Irish IP address will mean you can't watch it.

For instance, the matches on RTE.ie in the CL are only viewale in Ireland.

Nuri Sahin

Have a soft spot for Ajax and would love to see them win but they'd do well to get a draw tonight considering the difference in form, experience and squads called upon. United to win by at least a couple of goals.

got a text from a mate. A few 'skirmishes' between fans already

70-odd Ajax and 50-odd Anderlecht fans arrested for carrying weapons, planning an attack and carrying drugs apparently.

dfx-

Could be an ugly night, United should win by three or four with that Ajax side..

Will be interesting to see alright. Sure googling now how best to get a UK IP on my device.

hahahaha United fans

Thursday night football hahahahaha delighted for yee

Looking forward to this actually. Hopefully Young has a good game if he starts and we end up injury free.

Going to go with 2-1 United.

If you mean an app called Filmon its not geolocked. I use it in Sweden to watch UK tv all the time. Very handy app. I presume its "bending" the rules. Its basically the freeview or freesat UK channels (not sure which is correct term). On both iOS and Android.

You have watched us in Europe right?:D

I'd say we'd be happy with a score draw. We will try to win the game while staying a bit cautious.

A bit short termist, obviously very complacent this season but made 3 CL finals in 4 years prior to this year. With no weekend game Fergie will want to get this more or less wrapped up tonight, they'll probably line up reasonably strong.

TheLynx

A one nil victory for Ajax tonight due to Ajax having a water tight defence with the goal being scored by Sulejmani

SirDelboy18

My line up:

De Gea
Jones Smalling Evans Fabio
Nani Cleverley Park Pogba Young
Hernandez

Probably very wrong.

Mitch Connor

really looking forward to this - really hope I get to see Cleverley and Pogba for a decent amount of time. Cleverley for 60, Pogba for 30, would do me.

Fergie has said, a lot, that it will be hte strongest team available though.

Jelle1880

Already 88 people arrested, 40 Ajax fans yesterday.

Only 1 English guy so far.

I have seen Ajax in the eredivisie.
This is men vs boys.
If united takes this a bit serious tonight they go home with 3 of 4 goal advantage.

that has been our problem in Europe this year.

We got knocked out of the CL becuase we didn't take it seriously, not because we are not good enough (imo). I can easily see us taking the Europa League even less seriously.

kryogen

Thats why I would like to see the younger guys and the guys needing game time more to be playing, they will be sure to take it serious as it is their opportunity to shine.

The CL debacle should hopefully cop on some of the regulars anyway though

Thats it, jeez I wasn't even close. If you ever get mugged pray I am not a witness as my memory is terrible.

Nice one, between that and watching the Arsenal match last night via sopcast lite its been a good move cancelling my sky sports subscription

Even if United decide to play on clown shoes, they still should have enough to beat THIS Ajax.

They still miss a lot of players. They played Real when they were not having many injuries and got brushed away 3-0.

Not short termist at all. We are generally very cautious away from home in Europe for the last number of years.

There really is no need for that dig at Arsenal/their fans.

Anyways, I'm dead excited for tonight, would prefer it we had played over the last 2 nights, but screw it. Confident enough here, to repeat myself again, can't wait to see Eriksen.:p

Should have read Trillas location as well, before jumping in calling him a gooner. Hes one of us....one of us....one of us..

Anyway, I predict United to line out as:

---

DDG

---

Rafael----Ferdinand---Evans

---

Fabio
Valencia--Carrick

---

Cleverley---Young

---

Rooney

---

---

Hernandez

#MUFC XI: De Gea, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Fabio; Nani, Carrick, Cleverley, Young; Rooney, Hernandez

#MUFC bench: Amos, Smalling, Park, Scholes, Valencia, Welbeck, Pogba

Le Pog on for Cleverley, Welbz on for Rooney and Smalling on for Jones at various intervals and I'll be happy out!

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Ajax XI v MUFC (4-3-3): Vermeer; Anita, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Koppers; Aissati, Eriksen, Sd Jong; Sulejmani, Bulykin, Özbiliz

Blatter

Strange that the team sheet is out 75 mins before kick off. Is that normal for the EL?

Would that be a confirmed line up or just your guess?

Jax Teller

Nice line up youngish but also experienced . Be nice to see Fabio play well and put pressure on Evra .

MagicMarker

Please please please please please let the traffic be kind to me.

Confirmed.

Throwing a fair bit on money on a Utd win, very strong team out. Have a few euro on Utd -2 as well at 6/1. Good chance of a comfortable win imo.
