;Sir Alex Ferguson has had to sacrifice Thursday night trips to the cinema with wife Cathy now Manchester United are in the Europa League.But his players provided him with a horror movie of their own as they came perilously close to exiting the tournament after failing their screen test at the Theatre of Dreams.
An 87th-minute header from Ajax's Toby Alderweireld meant the visitors needed to score just once more to go through on away goals, ensuring an anxious finale for Ferguson and his players.Manchester United vs Ajax 2012 ( Man Utd Ajax Video BELOW)

Old Trafford, Manchester- 23 February, 2012- 20.05 UK- Thursday- Europa League Round of 32 2nd Leg- 23/02/2012
Ajax beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford but the Red Devils do enough to progress 3-2 on aggregate thanks to their 2-0 win in the first leg at the Amsterdam Arena.The Europa League represents a new frontier for Manchester United but they have brought old failings with them. An inability to protect a lead and complacency at Old Trafford contributed to their demise in the Champions League. Both made an untimely reappearance as Sir Alex Ferguson's team advanced in defeat and with nerves frayed against Ajax.
