;Manchester United vs Ajax Amsterdam 2-0 All goals & Match highlight Europa League 16/2/2012 FIFA 12 Hope you enjoy these highlights goals that we remake on the very good game Fifa 12 ENJOYManchester United's battle was as much with themselves as with Ajax. There was little grandeur for them to savour in this Europa League encounter. While pondering the last 32 of a lesser tournament, they would have felt a pang this week as the knockout phase of the Champions League got under way without them.
Sir Alex Ferguson's team were professional enough to ensure that the return leg with Ajax will not be a distraction as they strive primarily to retain the Premier League title. Even so, action in Europe is not to be taken lightly. United must have been mortified by their elimination from the Champions League, following the defeat by Basel in Switzerland.
Any follower of the club might have wondered if Ajax would pose a comparable challenge. They could not do so and, while the general level of technique was sound, there was no threat. United should still not be denied credit for their professionalism. The knowhow in United's ranks counts for a great deal.
They were patient, although it took until the second half before Ashley Young opened the scoring. The second goal, forced home by Javier Hernández after he had been picked out by Rooney, did not come until the 85th minute. Summoning up the intensity that Ferguson expected was not easy to achieve. It was peculiar, for instance, that Rio Ferdinand, the captain, should duck and leave his goalkeeper David de Gea to thrust away a firm drive from Siem de Jong in the 32nd minute.!
