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...
