Ajax Vs. Manchester United, 2012 Europa League: Lineups

Manchester United begin their Europa League campaign in Amsterdam, where they're putting out a fairly strong but not 100% side against fellow Champions League dropouts Ajax. Ajax, meanwhile, are going all kinds of crazy, fielding an incredibly attacking side that has a real chance of causing United problems in midfield. Of course, they're going to have some difficulty in containing Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez as a result, so we could see a very interesting game here today...

Ajax starting lineup (4-3-3): Kenneth Vermeer; Dico Koppers, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Vurnon Anita; Siem de Jong, Ismail Aissati, Christian Eriksen; Aras Ozbiliz, Dmitri Bulykin, Miralem Sulejmani.

Substitutes from: Jacobus Cillessen, Daley Blind, Nicolai Moeller, Ricardo van Rhijhn, Nicolas Lodeiro, Thulani Sereno, Jody Lukoki.

Manchester United starting lineup (4-4-1-1): David de Gea; Fabio da Silva, Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand, Phil Jones; Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Michael Carrick, Nani; Wayne Rooney; Javier Hernandez.

Subsitutes from: Ben Amos, Chris Smalling, Park Ji-Sung, Paul Pogba, Paul Scholes, Antonio Valencia, Danny Welbeck.
