Match facts

Ajax

  • This is the clubs' fifth meeting in UEFA competitions; the past four produced two wins for each side.
  • Ajax have scored 24 goals from 14 games during this season's Europa League campaign - one more than Manchester United.
  • Ajax are without a victory in their last six European games away from the Amsterdam ArenA: D3 L3 – three draws followed by three defeats.
  • de Godenzonen have had more attempts on goal (225) and attempts on target (95) than any other team in this season's tournament.
  • Ajax have committed more fouls (236) and received more yellow (45) and red (4) cards than any other side in this season's UEFA Europa League.
  • The game is taking place 22 years to the day since Ajax claimed their last major European trophy, overcoming AC Milan 1-0 in the 1995 UEFA Champions League final.
  • Bertrand Traoré is on loan with the club from Chelsea. The Burkina Faso forward made his Chelsea debut under José Mourinho in a 4-0 UEFA Champions League group stage win against Maccabi Tel-Avivin September 2015.

Manchester United

  • Their most recent encounters were in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League round of 32. Ashley Young and Javier Hernández scored in the Amsterdam first leg as Sir Alex Ferguson's men won 2-0.
  • United are unbeaten in ten European matches (W7 D3) since a 2-1 loss at Fenerbahçe in this season's UEFA Europa League group stage.
  • The Red Devils have attempted (7,582) and completed (6,702) the most passes in this season's UEFA Europa League.
  • United are looking to join Ajax, Bayern, Chelsea and Juventus in completing a full set of major UEFA club trophies (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League) with victory in Stockholm.
  • Mourinho faced Ajax five times as Real Madrid coach, winning all five games by an aggregate score of 17-2.
  • Jose Mourinho has won all three of his major UEFA finals.
  • Sergio Romero played in the Netherlands with AZ Alkmaar from 2007–11, landing the title in 2008/09. Ajax's Nick Viergever was a team-mate of his during the 2010/11 campaign.

Predictions

While the Dutch side have lost three games on their way to the final, Manchester United have lost just once. They know how to get the job done in this competition and with key players likely to be fresh, they'll be confident of justifying their favourites tag.

As ever with Mourinho, his first though will be to keep Ajax quiet and his defensive selections to stop Kasper Dolberg will be crucial. He then needs a spark in the final third, something Marcus Rashford can provide.

In the end, expect Mourinho to get perhaps his most important victory of the season in Stockholm.

Final Score – 1 : 2

Hoping for united to lose.. It will b a blessing in disguise.. With them not bein in the champs league next season they wil get enuf time to build a team which is a need of the hour.. Plus, with the way they are currently playin theyll suck big time in the champs league.. They are not ready for champs league football yet!

most of the players we are interested in buying this summer will only come if we are in the champions league so not really a blessing at all

Ajax. You have been the rightful team to go to the final. Your away form has been poor but when asked you have provided. This is the match to not only prove that you are the rightful Europa League and to end United's Europa League ambitions, but to send a world a message that we can end high in 2018!!! Your team highly reminds me of the team that beat Milan with the likes of Overmars, Seedorf, Blind, Kluivert. Please Ajax, revive the legends. You have arrived, now let's go AFC AJAX!!!!!
