Match Analysis
Historically, this match between European heavywights Ajax and Manchester United would be expected to take place in the latter stages of the Champions League.
But, the Red Devils travel to Amsterdam in the last 32 of the Europa League after last year's finalists failed to make it out of the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.
This match will be Manchester United's first non-Champions League European match since 1995.
The two sides have met just twice before, a two-legged affair during the 1975-76 season, with United winning 2-1.
Ajax have lost three of their last five home matches, but had previously only been defeat at their own ground once in 24 outings.
United head into the game in good form after a run of five games in which they have beaten both Arsenal and Liverpool and come from three goals down to draw 3-3 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
AJAX: Vermeer – Koppers, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Anita – Eriksen, Enoh, De Jong – Sulejmani, Bulykin, Ebecilio.
Man Utd: De Gea – Fabio, Smalling, Evans, Rafael – Park, Cleverley, Valencia, Young – Berbatov – Hernandez.

Match Verdict
It seems like Manchester United after was eliminated from Champions League would give everything to make everything right in Europa League so won't disappoint again and must give everything to satisfy their supporters. In this situation I believe that Manchester United does have enough quality and talented players to make the difference with Ajax Amsterdam from this first leg in transfer so ill take Manchester United to win this one.
