Lineup I wanna see:

Romero
Valencia - Tuanzebe - Jones - Blind
Pogba - Fellaini- Herrera
Micki - Rashford - Mata

Lineup we'll most likely get:

Romero
Valencia - Smalling - Blind - Darmian
Pogba - Fellaini - Herrera
Micki - Rashford- Lingard

Which of course isn't bad, but given Lingard's dross performances in the league and Darmian's complete inability to put up any attacking threat, I'll be less than optimistic about our chances. Tony V needs to have a monster game once again.

 

[hatterson]

Lingard is a mystery. It's a cup game, but it's not at Wembley...

 

[awesomo]

this is united's season. Get that CL place boys

 

[Savi]

go Ajax

 

[Savant]

Go Ajax Go

Wij zijn Ajax! Let's gooooooooo. Would love nothing more than for a Dutch club to win another European trophy and knock out United at the same time. Double glory.

Hoping Kluivert plays he's been so good; would much rather him than Traore.

I'd like to see...

Tete - Sanchez - de Ligt - Riedewald
Klaassen - van de Beek - Ziyech
Kluivert - Dolberg - Younes​

 

[Venkman]

Romero, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Darmian, Herrera, Fellaini, Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford

Kluivert - Dolberg - Younes​

From what I've seen that looks about right. Only thing with starting Kluivert (or Younes) is that with Traore on the bench you don't get as much of an impact if you bring him on later. Still from what I've seen of Ajax I would say it's best to go for it from the opening whistle.

 

[YNWA14]

Yeah, but I'd rather bring Neres off the bench than Traore anyway.

Starting line-up is this:

Veltman - Sanchez - de Ligt - Riedewald
Klaassen - Schone - Ziyech
Traore - Dolberg - Younes

Subs: Boer, Tete, Westermann, De Jong, Van de Beek, Kluivert, Neres

For me Neres or Kluivert should start over Traore, van de Beek over Schone and Tete a million times over Veltman. I hope it doesn't hurt, but it probably will. Schone is old and immobile tbh, van de Beek would do much better in this game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm rooting for Kasper Dolberg FC

Yeah, but from what I've seen of Ajax Neres isn't in the equation nearly enough to even consider him here. If Bosz has played him a lot in the league then so be it, but I've not see him get the minutes so much in the Europa League.

 

[Cassano]

Utd take it in penalties imo

 

[YNWA14]

Well I mean, Neres considering when he was brought in has played plenty. He's ready, and he's very talented. Though again, I'd rather have him come in as a sub for Kluivert later in the game. Traore as maybe an emergency sub for Dolberg if necessary.

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm going to say Ajax will win and unfortunately the terrorist attack is going to have had a very negative impact on this game.

 

[Loopy0ne]

Why won't they play de Gea? What am I missing, Griezmann signing may hang in the balance

I'm glad it appears that it hasn't.

Romero has played pretty much every game in the EL this year and played extremely well. He earned it, I wouldn't be upset with whoever they started but I was hoping it would be DDG.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Ooof that's harsh luck

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'll take it lol

 

[les Habs]

Deflected goal against the run of play... Nice first touch by Pogba to set up the shot.

 

[Live in the Now]

Getting close to Ajax going full attack here.

 

[hatterson]

*yawn*

I won't say I'd rather lose than play like this...but it's close.

 

[Theon]

Darmian's been good. Gotta give credit where it's due.

Mkhi though, awful.

I'd say the front three have been average at best. Mkhi and Mata have been mediocre, Rashford a little better but still not his dangerous self.
