United haven't played anyone as good as Ajax in this competition. If the team is paralysed by fear of losing like it was last night or Jose tells them to play for penalties then I am genuinely fearful. Ajax are a young team and will be well rested. United are on their hands and knees atm and have three EPL matches to play between now and the final. At this rate we'll be lucky to have 16 players to choose a team from!

Your squad is absolutely huge aswell...that and youll be resting a lot for the final. Ajax are no where near the side they used to be...not in Uniteds league to be honest.

United should tonk them but you do have a point.

I think this is a blessing in disguise. Jose knows top 4 is all but lost now. This is a opportunity for him to play the likes of Martial (To prove his worth, Jose playing Jesse over Martial is madness) and to ease Smalling and Jones back into the team for the final. We are not on our knees. Apart from Zlatan and Eric we should have a pretty decent squad to choose from for the final.
 
This is by far the best squad Ajax have had in years - they would have walked the Dutch league had Bosz figured out how to fit Ziyech into his 4-3-3 system a bit earlier. He and Klaassen would slot right into most Premier League sides and there are a few others who aren't far off.

On paper Man Utd should obviously win but Ajax are much more capable of punishing Mourinho's cautiousness than anyone else they've faced so far.

Am I right in thinking that if Man Utd lose the final and finish 6th they will have no European football next season?

completely wrong

6th would still get Europa league entry (I think into group, but maybe only into quali) - even if the EFL win didn't get Utd into qualification round already
