Today, 14:45 EST, 18:45 GMT I guess.

Televised on Fox Sports 1 in America.

The mighty Manchester Reds are trying to win the Europa League for the first time in their history and as such backdoor their way into next season's UEFA Champions League. They would also become only the fifth club in history to win all of the major European trophies, i.e. not the Intertoto Cup.

Ajax have already qualified for the Champions League next season by virtue of finishing second in the Eredivise which is like finishing 14th in a real league. They have won the Europa League/UEFA Cup in their history, in 1992, shortly before football was invented.

Ajax are a team full of exciting, attack-minded young players and Manchester United are a team of expensive players who will probably play in a 4-6-0 shell and try to Mourinho a 1-0 win.

Expect a match of football with at least one team wearing red. I have no loving clue who's going to win.

I'm glad that the team I support, Manchester United, won another trophy this season and qualified for the Champions League Group Stage and as such will hopefully sign some really good footballers this summer for hundreds of millions of Pounds/Euros/Dollars.
