Manchester United will play in their blue kit for the Europa League final against Ajax... just as they did in 1968 when they beat Benfica at Wembley

Manchester United will take on Ajax in the Europa League final wearing their blue kit after being drawn as the away team.

Ajax will walk on to the pitch of Stockholm's Friends Arena in their famous red and white stripes.
