MANCHESTER UNITED ARE CHAMPIONS OF THE UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE! Manchester United are the fifth team to win all three major European trophies (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League/European Cup & Cup Winner's Cup).
87' WHAT A CHANCE! Jesse Lingard looks to have run clear of the Ajax defence and is bearing down on goal, but Sanchez shoulders him off the ball. Lingard screams for a penalty, to no avail.
77' Juan Mata goes into the book for a very poor challenge on De Ligt from behind. The Ajax left back, Riedewald also goes into the book for a bit of afters with Herrera.
75' Half-hearted appeals for a penalty emanate from Pogba's mouth as he's put into the box by a clever backheel from Rashford on the counter attack, but Sanchez gets the better of the Frenchman in a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge.
72' After what seems like an age in setting up the wall, Hakim Ziyech ends his effort straight into, you guessed it, the wall. Somewhere, Donald Trump looks on in appreciation.
68' Traore and Klaasen attempt some clever passing on the edge of the area, and the ball is deflected out for a corner. United clear the initial ball into the box, but Ajax retain the ball and come again.
66' Ajax waste another chance going forward, as a promising move comes to an end with Ziyech trying to curl the ball with his left foot into the top corner. Watch more Robben videos, mate.
65' CHANCE! Pogba sends in a peach of a cross from the right wing to Fellaini at the far post, but the Belgian sends his header straight to Onana's arms in the Ajax goal.
60' Ajax have made circa 350 passes to United's 125. The Dutch side's latest one is Ziyech attempting a floated ball into the box, but Romero comes out to claim the ball with ease.
56' WHAT A WASTE! Younes is found making a brilliant run into the box by Klaasen, but the Ajax winger takes his time to release the ball, and the chance goes a-begging. This has been Ajax's downfall tonight - they've been too slow in attack tonight.
54' Sanchez is tormented by the combination of Rashford's pace and physicality yet again. De Ligt, the 17-year-old, comes over to bail his fellow defender out, with Rashford conceding a foul when trying to win the ball back.
53' Ajax have had most of the ball in this game - but United's experience has proved telling. The Dutch side attempt to get a goal back with Traore, who's deflected effort from range flies straight into Romero's arms.
49' Great tackle! Sanchez gives the ball away to Rashford and as the United striker is all set to bear down on goal, the Ajax defender negates the problem of his own making with a well-timed sliding tackle.
48' Manchester United send in a corner from the right and Smalling sends a header downwards. Mkhitaryan is lurking two yards ahead of the goal and does incredibly well to hook the ball past his marker and into the net. Ajax 0-2 Manchester United!
47' A high-tempo start from Ajax with Younes, Dolberg and Klaasen al getting excellent touches on the ball. The move breaks down when Younes comes flying in to Fellaini's toes and concedes a foul.
45' Was that a penalty? Traore and Dolberg exchange a clever 1-2 on the edge of the box, but Darmian gets ahead of Traore to shelter the ball out of play, with Traore screaming for a penalty while clattering into the Italian from behind. The hopefulness of youth, eh?
44' Ajax are struggling to play through the lines, with Klaasen attempting to break United's defensive block with a through pass to Dolberg, but Romero and Smalling shelter the ball away from the Danish striker.
41' A promising move from Ajax ends with Traore losing his footing while chasing a ball going out of play that he was favourite for. Moments later, Sanchez nearly is caught in possession by Rashford in the box, but the Ajax defender comes away with the ball.
38' Another poor pass from De Ligt as he sends the ball out of play when attempting to find Riedewald on the wing.Ajax continue to dominate much of the ball, although United stand firm.
36' Ajax are gaining in confidence as De Ligt shows some decidedly un-centreback-esque technique to waltz his way through the middle, but the Dutch side lose the ball. Moments later, Traore nearly weaves his way through the United backline from the right, but Smalling does well to get his blocks in.
34' CHANCE! Younes creates havoc down Ajax's left wing and the move ends with Riedewald flashing an early cross into the corridor of uncertainty, but Dolberg is on his heels and the chance goes a-begging.
32' De Ligt does well to intercept the ball as Rashford charges into him and is worse for wear. Sportingly, Ajax put the ball out of play, with United giving it back a couple of moments later.
28' It doesn't look like Ajax have their fluid football at the ready tonight - another piece of miscommunication ends with De Ligt putting the ball out of play while attempting to pass to Younes on the left.
26' The game is opening up as both sides attempt through balls to their frontmen, but the keeper is first to the ball both times. To give you an idea of the game so far - Ajax have had 67% of the possession - with United happy to cede the midfield.
24' The game is perfectly set up for Manchester United on the counter - the Red Devils burst forward from the right wing, with Valencia in acres of space. He produces a burst of speed to get into the box and shoots from a narrow angle to the near post, but Onana has it covered - palming the ball away.
22' From the set-piece, the ball eventually makes its way to Traore on the edge of the box, but before he can get the ball in control, United's defenders charge him down to block the shot.
22' Mkhitaryan concedes a foul by hauling down Veltman on the right wing after the Ajax fullback burst past him. Schone's free-kick is put out by United for a corner.
