    If this Ajax team made a final then surely, surely with proper investment and Brendan Rddgers keeping his great recruiting record going then a final must be within our reach?

    Can't wait for the media to say Mourinho is the greatest thing ever for winning the league cup and Europa League and finishing 6th in the league
    Meanwhile the players who downed tools for him last season at Chelsea strolled to the league with ease

    The fact that qualifying for the Champions League means more than the actual trophy sums the Europa up. Clubs like United don't give a * about this, lets be honest.

    Well, all the negativity about Ajax......they were not in the final cause all their players were * as a lot of you all of a sudden claim. We arent * there and they were. Did I say * Mourinho btw? :giggle1: Too bad. Back to football Manager.

    Now now, don't forget the Charity Shield. They've just won the treble, incredible feat.

    UEFA have turned it into a joke competition for clubs like United and Chelsea.

    By rewarding the winning team with a place in the CL they've now marketed it as a qualifying route to the real big tournament. What a joke.

    The name itself - Europa League - just sounds pish and amateurish.

    Aye.

    Was much more magic when it was the UEFA Cup and straight up knockout football.

    Some of Pogba's passing is ridiculously poor for a professional footballer.

    5 English teams in the CL, probably only Chelsea will get close too winning it because of Conte

    A clear difference in class tonight though.

    You wanted Ajax to win?

    Impressive for a 17 year-old. The other boy Sanchez(a few rough edges to his game)was decent as well, De Ligt for me looks to have a far more complete game to him.

    Surprised Traore made the full game, could've come off anytime for me. Persisted with running into tight areas, Younes wasn't much better but at least held the width.

    Man United played as I expected tonight. Just didn't look like Ajax knew or planned how to play against it. Pretty sure when they look at it, they will have plenty of regrets about the game. Possession but no penetration.

    This Ajax side is decent but I personally think all this talk of 'they will be back, still a young side' is nonsense. One off, for me. A good run this year but there is still some decidedly average players in there.
