Manchester United’s last outing of the 2016-17 season will be more than just another game.
The Red Devils will meet Ajax on Wednesday at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, in the 2017 Europa League final. The contest offers the teams a chance to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League group stage with a victory.
Manchester United has never won the Europa League (or its forerunner, the UEFA Cup) and seeks to complete its own set of European silverware.
Ajax is playing in its first European final since 1995.

The teams also will be playing with heavy hearts, as Manchester mourns victims of Monday’s terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena. There will be a moment of silence before kickoff, and the Red Devils then will attempt to make Manchester smile for the ensuing 90-plus minutes.
