Gallery: Ajax v United

United proved too strong for Ajax in the second half of the first leg tie in the Europa League.

After a tepid opening 45 minutes, Ashley Young's first goal since netting against Basel in the Champions League was followed by Javier Hernandez's clincher after a neat interchange of passes with Wayne Rooney.

Check out some images from the Amsterdam ArenA as the Reds took a major step towards progression in the competition and a two-legged tie with Lokomotiv Moscow or Athletic Bilbao.
