It’s the final day of the Europa league and its all going down at Friends Arena in Sweden just north of Stockholm tonight at 21:45 EAT, Ajax finished 2nd the home local league behind Feyenoord by just one point and the only hope now of lifting a major trophy this season is winning the Europa league, on the other side Manchester United finished 6th in the premier league with 24 points behind the league winners Chelsea, United’s only hope to feature in the champions league next season is winning this trophy tonight but that’s another whole story together, Ajax had to first pass the test of winning the French side Lyonn to make it to the finals, they won 4:1 at home and lost 3:1 in France and progressed to the finals on the away goals rule, United Won by just a goal in Spain against Celt de vigo and drew 1:1 at home in their semi finals to advance to this level, Ajax has scored more Goals than United at the this stage, Ajax has scored 24 goals and United 23 goals, Ajax also has made many goal attempts, they have attempted to score 225 times and United has attempted to score 177 times the Europa league so far, the top Goal scorers at the moment are Roma’s Edin Dzeko with 8 goals, Zenit’s Giuliano also at 8 goals and Aduriz at 7 goals, then Ajax’s man Kasper Dolberg comes in 4th position of top scorers with 6 goals, United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also at 5 goals, United Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera has completed most passes in the tournament so far with 840 and 558 passes respectively, these two teams have meet twice in European competition and both teams have won once, Ajax has a goal difference of 56 goals in their home league compared to United goal difference of 25 goal this season in the premier league, It will be hard for United to stop the Dutch side from scoring but Mourinho is good at such moments, I have a feeling United will find this game hard but am not sure if Ajax will defend for the 90 minutes, it hasn’t been a good season for United and I have a feeling they could lose this as well, I will go for an Ajax win but Mourinho could turn up with any approach that could change things, Ajax 2:0 Manchester United
