Half time. Ajax 0, Manchester United 1 (Pogba 18').

A bit of a grinding affair, not a wealth of chances for either team. Lots of takeaways of possession on both sides, but United have done particularly well in shutting Ajax down at the right times. Traore is making his presence known for Ajax. Pogba's goal showed what can be done by being forward and maintaining pressure. Lots of maintenance so far for United.

Just into the second half, both sides get some pressure.

Mkhitaryan scores with a bicycle kick after Smalling wins the ball off the corner! United double their lead only a couple of minutes after the start. Ajax 0, Manchester United 2 (Pogba 18', Mkhitaryan 48').

United looking to maintain pressure here.

Ajax with some good pressure over the past few minutes, finally snuffed out. Veltman collects his seventh yellow card of this Europa League campaign after a foul on Mata.

Dolberg off, Neres on for Ajax in the 62nd.

Interesting handball call on Mkhitaryan near the edge of the box.

[Don Quixote]

After about 90 seconds, the free kick simply goes into the wall.

[Don Quixote]

Mkhitaryan off, Lingard on for United in the 74th.

[Don Quixote]

A great break forward from United ends in the area as Pogba goes down. No call, so United have to recover on the counter.

[Don Quixote]

Mata with a late challenge, then a bit of a dust-up on the sidelines involving Herrera and some Ajax players. Herrera got pushed down, but no punishment there. Mata gets the yellow. Rooney calming things in that incident.

[Don Quixote]

Riedewald gets a yellow.

[Don Quixote]

Smalling with a good clearance out of the area.

[Don Quixote]

Riedewald off, de Jong on for Ajax, right on 81 minutes, their last substitution.
