Manchester United win Europa League to save season

Manchester United beat Ajax 2-0 in the Europa League final after goals from Pogba and Mkhitaryan.

United were hyped up about the fixture, and started well with a very organised team.

It only took eighteen minutes for United to predictably break the deadlock and happened when Paul Pogba found himself in acres of space outside the box. He took a shot, but it got deflected and looped into the net leaving keeper Onana with no chance.

The Frenchman celebrated wildly along with his team-mates, relieved to come up with a goal as big as this one after making a record signing this summer and not impressing much since.

United went into half-time comfortably, confident of victory.

The English side looked like winners right from the half-time kick off and Mkhitaryan just about confirmed they were that after turning in Smalling’s flick.

Ajax showed no sign of posing any major attacking threat and their play going forward was very predictable with no width and pointless passes through the middle. United maintained their lead until the end and a trophy ceremony followed.

Wayne Rooney got put on at the end along with Martial and Lingard, in what could be his last game for United in a very memorable career.

This Europa League victory was not just about what happened on the pitch, but for the terrible attack in Manchester at a singer’s concert and a minute’s silence was held before the game.

This win means that United will be in the Champions League next season along with Mourinho’s pride of winning two trophies in his first season.
