Bailly is a huge, huge loss. Only has himself to blame though.
 
Romero
Valencia Smalling Blind Darmian
Herrera
Fellaini Pogba
Lingard Rashford Mkhitaryan

If we play anything like we did tonight we're gonna need this.
 
Baily red means we just about lost this. You can quote me...white text something smart...forum type of banter.
 
Why is it on a Wednesday? It was on the Saturday prior to the Champions League final in recent seasons.

In any case, I hope Jose properly rests the team.
 
Biggest match of the season! Lets hope nobody else gets injured now.

A shame Bailly is out because he is a huge loss. Huge. Time for Smalling and Jones to step up and prove their worth to the club. A Europa League trophy could be the stepping stone back to the top of the league. A loss would be unfathomable.

Mourinho will need to select the best players for this match.
 
Both first choice CBs out can't be a good thing.

Don't watch ajax. Will smalling, Jones and Blind be fine? Or should we be worried.
 
Can't wait for the season to finish. I'm emotionally drained.
 
Once in a lifetime and a very special match for me. My two favourite teams playing eachother in a final, also very difficult who I'm going to support. It will depend on where the teams finish in the League. If Ajax gets first, Im supporting United 100%.
 
Expecting to see more kids getting time in the league in the build up to this, which I'm really looking forward to.

I'm bricking it for the final itself. I have no idea how I survived Barcelona and Moscow.
 
I just realized we are the away team in this. I hope we avoid that blue away jersey.

I feel like we have lost every match we have played in it.

I think we'll be wearing the black away kit that was just released.

Would imagine we'd play in the new Black kit for promotion.
 
Interesting fact. May 24th 1995 is when Ajax won their last Champions League, now another final exactly 22 years later. And like back then the day after, May 25th, will be a Dutch national holiday. This final is gonna be huge in the Netherlands.

Best way to beat them is with high pressing game in my opinion, they're prone to mistakes under pressure. But not sure that's our strength or how Mourinho will play.
 
I would start Carrick against Ajax and push Pogba and Herrera further up the pitch. As much as Felliani deserves to start, United will need more energy, control and eye for a pass in midfield.
 
Was very nearly a Lyon v Celta Vigo final, fecking hell, crazy last few minutes in both ties.
 
Nick Viergiever got a red for Ajax, is he important to them?

27 year old centre back apparently.
 
Blind should be nowhere near our back 4 if we can help it in this game, and I say that as someone who has been a big advocate of him.

Absolute dog shit tonight.

Plays left back. He's inconsistent, a big force in their 2nd leg against Schalke. But not great today. He didn't play their first game against Lyon, was suspended then too. And wasn't missed, so.
 
Nick viergiver got a red card for ajax so they will miss a CB too, But we will miss bailley more. I wonder what made valencia abd bailley react that way?
They will score for sure, but they will give away chances as well. We really need to take those.
 
Never seen a single Ajax game this season. How have they played so far? I know they aren't afraid of scoring goals. Are they better than us?

They almost choked away a 4-1 aggregate lead tonight....
 
I live next to the stadium, I got tickets to the final and it's a holiday in Sweden the day after - can't fecking wait!
