On Wednesday, Ajax and Man United will lock horns in the Europa League final. For Ajax, it’s a shot at silverware after losing the league title to Feyenoord. The Red Devils are vying for more than the title, as a Champions League spot is at stake for Mourinho’s men.
Here is a look at the unavailable players and those likely to start in Stockholm.
Ajax
The Eredivisie giants will be without left-back Daley Sinkgrave as he failed to recover from his knee injury in time. Defender Nick Viergever is suspended.
With Man United boasting Marouane Fellaini in their starting eleven, Ajax could field their very own aerial threat in the form of Lasse Schöne.
Predicted lineup: Onana; Veltman, De Ligt, Sánchez, Riedewald; Klaassen, Schöne, Ziyech; Traoré, Dolberg, Younes
Man United
In the final Premier League game of the season, the Special One named several youngsters in his starting eleven – including 16-year-old Angel Gomes. Mourinho won’t be expected to do the same on Wednesday.
David de Gea, tipped with a summer Old Trafford exit, will likely continue on the bench in favor of Man United’s Europa League go-to goalie Sergio Romero. With Eric Bailly suspended after his semi-final red-card against Celta Vigo, Phil Jones is favorite to deputize.
Pogba should retain his spot in the starting lineup after his goal against Crystal Palace, with Fellaini and Herrera set to join him in midfield. With Zlatan out, Rashford will be the lone striker.
Predicted lineup: Romero; Valencia, Jones, Blind, Darmian; Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba; Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Rashford
