Youthful Ajax side did really well to make it to the Europa League final and now they have a chance to lift the coveted trophy exactly 22 years since lifting the Champions League title.

The Amsterdammers will be up against injury-hit Manchester United and there may be value in odds of 9/5 offered on the Dutch side to lift the trophy, especially due to the fact they head into the high-profile game in better mood than the opposition. 

The Red Devils have been made 5/6 favourites to win in ninety minutes, but with all the selection worries Jose Mourinho has had to contend with, this could prove a very difficult game for the English giants.
