    For all those nervous, put it this way -

    If Ajax were our last 16 draw in next season's Champions League, would you have such trepidation?

    No, but absolutely it's different story it's European final and our near future depends so much on this game considering our transfers, money, C.L football and adding a trophy so nerve is normal IMO.
     
    ABU's will be out in force Wednesday,already crawling out from their rock after the weekend results.


    Yeah, I would.

    We haven't beaten relegation teams at home this season.

    Everything has been hard 'ucking work, including 3-2 against Southampton in the EC final. We are nowhere near comfortable enough to consider ANY game easy money. ANY game.

    So yeah brah, I'm crapping myself coz we're playing an underdog on form who love to score goals whereas we struggle to score!

    EDIT - Quoted the wrong post, meant to quote the 'why are we nervous' type quote

    When Jose said that this is the biggest game of our history, he wasn't far off. Could be the difference between stagnation and growth.
     
    Anyone think any of the kids from Sunday could make a bench appearance? Mitchell could be a good sub for Darmian as a bit on an unknown quantity if we're looking to go a bit more attacking. Really don't wanna see Rooney coming of the bench if we're searching for a goal, he has 0 impact as a sub.
     
    Is the europa league cup on top of E.T's head at the top of this page ?

    I see it too! (Mobile version):lol:

    Although, I think it's meant to be hands?
     
    We have got good defense but upfront we cannot score easily. They have a weak defense but have good finishers upfront. It balances out. If we can keep a clean sheet which we managed to do a lot this season and scrap a goal or two in we will have a good chance of winning. We need concentration in defense and creativity in attack.

    I see it on both mobile and desktop. Good spot! :D
     
    All respect to Ajax (seriously in the top 10 historically most important clubs in Europe imho).. BUT I really don't have the nerves left to watch a close game.. Just please blow them back to Amsterdam. 4-0 at HT or something. Zlatan coming on as a surprise sub in the last 30 seconds. Raucous applause from the Swedes, Martial scoring in the last second of injury time just to rub it in and get that confidence back for next season, Griezmann announcing on Twitter right after the whistle he s coming to Manchester, and SAF going nuts in the stands and Zlatan signing an extension. I'm not asking for much.

    You beautiful deluded bastard. I love it. :D
     
    Man, alot is riding on the result of this game.

    It will shape our transfer strategy which will in turn determine the course of next season, which will be one of our most pivotal seasons to date.

    I trust in Jose...If anyone can lead us to victory it will be him
     
    If we play the same tempo as we played Chelsea we should be ok. Anything less and it will be a struggle.
     
    Had annoying nightmares about this game last night; it was on telly on Tuesday night even though the papers and websites said it's on Wednesday like it should be. The score kept changing all the time from 0-1 to them between 2-1 to us.

    I blame the new Twin Peaks epiodes for this.

    Obviously next season I expect a very different and much improved team. If we were in the last 16 vs Ajax this season, I would be just as worried as I am now.
     
    Kind reminder that this game is tomorrow IE Wednesday night and not Thursday!! Seen a few United fans on social media casually unaware. Don't miss it :lol:

    If people are unaware at this point then they fecking deserve to miss the game.
     
    It's been a while since so much depended on a single game for us. Our biggest game since Fergie's retirement.
     
    I am very excited and looking forward to this game. On paper MU should win it comfortably, but Ajax has some brilliant young players and it would be dangerous to let them take the initiative.
    I hope Pogba wins it :)

    Glad I'm not the only one! Had a nightmare last night where Ajax opened the scoring on 64 minutes, after DDG flapped at a cross and they headed it in. We weren't doing a lot to get back in the game and then I woke up... :nervous:
     
    We have played two CL finals after that. Just because we lost those games doesn't make them any less important.

    Well this feels different; our whole squad building exercise and possibly even Mourinho's long term future here could possibly be influenced by this game. The CL is a far better tournament but given the circumstances and how much is riding on this game, this feels bigger.
