Ajax v Manchester United Tips – United expected to come out on top Visit Blue Square Save For Later Posted by Leigh Copson 13 Feb 2012 Tweet United look to bounce back from Champions League exit (credit: Jamie McDonald/Getty Images) Related Articles See all Europa League newsFC Porto v Manchester City Special Offer at BetfredAjax v Manchester United Special Offer at BetfredAjax v Manchester United Money Back at Paddy Power Share it Pin It Manchester United make their Europa League debut when they head to Ajax on Thursday night.The Red Devils were dumped out of the Champions League at the group stage, in rather embarrassing fashion, and a spot in Europe’s secondary competition is their consolation prize (Europa League Winner 7/1 @ Betfred). Manager Sir Alex Ferguson has already answered the question of whether or not he will take the competition seriously, insisting he will name his strongest team for this match because United are not in action again on Saturday. The bookmakers have responded to that by making them 10/11 favourites (Paddy Power) to leave the Amsterdam Arena with a first leg lead.While talented, this Ajax team does not compare to the highly-respected teams of the past. They will provide a stern test for United and the English side will have to be at their best, or a repeat of their Basel woes could be on the cards (Ajax To Win 7/2, Draw 13/5 @ Blue Square). However, Fergie and Co do not often make the same mistake twice, so it is expected that they will put one foot in the next round while on Dutch soil (United To Qualify – 1/3 @ BetVictor).Wayne Rooney is the man Ajax will have to stop, with the England striker having put his 2010/11 struggles firmly behind him to net 22 times in all competitions this season. Rooney is 19/4 in BetVictors’ first goalscorer market, while fellow frontmen Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck are 5/1 respectively.United should find the net at least once in Holland, the question comes at the other end if ‘dodgy’ David de Gea starts in goal. De Gea has hardly covered himself in glory this season and that will again make United prone to conceding goals, meaning they may well need two goals to win this one (8/1 United Win 2-1, 14/1 United Win 3-1 @ Ladbrokes.Recommended Bet:Both Teams To Score – Yes 10/11 @ Blue Square Read our Blue Square review Get your £25 free bet from Blue Square now Like Like Post to wall 290 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Europa League Final Tips – Madrid and Bilbao to serve up goals09 May 2012Domestic rivals Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao go head-to-head tonight in the 2012 Europa Leag Europa League Final: Athletic Bilbao believe they can beat Atletico Madrid08 May 2012Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente has declared that his side’s stunning Europa League succe Atletico Madrid v Athletic Bilbao Tips – Star men to settle Europa League final08 May 2012Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao go head-to-head on Wednesday night in an all-Spanish Europa Lea Atletico Madrid v Athletic Bilbao – Europa League Final Odds Preview08 May 2012Spanish sides Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao will contest the 41st Europa League final on Wedn Atletico Madrid v Athletic Bilbao preview - Europa League final betting tips07 May 2012Atletico Madrid are one of form teams in Spain at the moment and they can carry that into Wednesday Europa League Results – Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid into final26 Apr 2012Fernando Llorente netted a last-gasp winner for Athletic Bilbao as they set up a Europa League fina More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Ajax V Manchester United Betting, Ajax V Manchester United Odds, Ajax V Manchester United Tips, Europa League Betting, Europa League Odds, Europa League Tips
