Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Europa League clash between Manchester United and Ajax at the AmsterdamArena. It kicks off at 6pm UK time.

Thanks for joining me for that game. Good solid win for United, who kept their cool under pressure. Next up it's the other Manchester giant against Porto, the defending champions. Should be a cracker - meet me on that matchcast in a minute!

Full time and a comfortable win for United, who were excellent in the second-half.

Goal kick for United when Ajax wanted a corner.

Three minutes added time being played.

Poor goal kick from De Gea as he slips, now Sulejmani runs in but instead of taking it close in he tries a lob and sends it well over!

Ajax have a corner after a decent low save from De Gea. Eriksen with the effort. The corner sees a defender head over.

Rooney picks it up on the left and tries a lob but that is well over.

Alderweireld late on Fabio and he is booked.

UNITED SUB: Valencia picked up a knock in that counter and is replaced by Welbeck. Worrying for United.

GOAL UNITED! Scintilating counter-attack started by Valencia as Rooney races away down the left, sliding a superb fizzing low pass between Alderweireld's legs to complete a brilliant one-two with Hernandez who rattles the finish home. Wonderful goal.

Sulejmani tries one from distance after a good spell of possession but straight at De Gea, who holds well.

Eriksen with some nice skill and Vertonghen bombs forward only to run into Evans. United can break but the elect to hold possession. Welbeck is warming up...

Anita thinks he was checked by Fabio but the Italian ref - who has been excellent - laughs him off.

De Gea does well to launch a hospital backpass upfield, his counterpart Vermeer also laid a boo-boo by his defence but kicking long.

Good low cross from Van Rhijn but cleared calmly by Carrick Now Anita on the move but he runs it out. United backing off like the first half.

AJAX SUB: Ozbiliz off for Lukoki. DR Congo-born Dutch youth forward.

Hernandez fouls Vertonghen who when wronged is only too happy to cry foul.

Rooney with a crossfield pass for Valencia but an English first touch from him as it flies through his foot and out of play.

They do clear the corner and counter at pace as Vertonghen of all people surges forward but hoofed clear by Evans. Earlier Ajax wanted handball against Hernandez but it was a ludicrous claim.

Hernandez again gets in down the right, good slide tackle from Alderweireld and a corner. Ajax want something else, not sure what the whinge is.
