Good evening and welcome to Nigerianeye's live text coverage of the Europa League final between Ajax and Manchester United at the Friends Arena in Stockholm.
Ajax come into this match looking to pick up their first European trophy since their 1995 Champions League final triumph, which came 22 years ago to this very day.
United, meanwhile, have never won the UEFA Cup or Europa League before and would book their place in next season's Champions League with a victory tonight having only managed a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.
AJAX: Onana; Veltman, Sanchez, De Ligt, Riedewald; Schone, Klaassen, Ziyech; Traore, Dolberg, Younes
Subs: Boer, Tete, Westermann, De Jong, Van de Beek, Kluivert, Neres
MANCHESTER UNITED: Romero; Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Darmian; Herrera, Fellaini, Pogba; Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford
Subs: De Gea, Jones, Rooney, Martial, Lingard, Carrick, Fosu-Mensah
7 min Here is that minute's applause which broke out in memory of the victims of Monday's terrorist attack which killed 22 people.
5 min Ajax seem to be trying to get the ball forward too quickly at the moment, playing passes to no-one without looking. They need to just calm down a little and get their foot on the ball for a longer period.
3 min United have started this match very much on the front foot, with Ajax struggling to get themselves settled into the game just yet. It is still very early days, but Mourinho will be the happier of the two managers right now.
1 min Nervy moments for Ajax early on as Onana and Veltman collide following a ball from Mata into the box. Not exactly the settling start this young side would have wanted.
1 min KICKOFF: Marcus Rashford gets us underway at the Friends Arena!
