AJAX 0-2 MANCHESTER UNITED - MARTIN SAMUEL AT THE FRIENDS ARENA: The index finger said it all. No 1, Jose Mourinho, seemed to be saying, and with some feeling, too. Still No 1. And while Zinedine Zidane may beg to differ, and Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus, or even Antonio Conte for that matter, what is indisputable is that, on this occasion at least, Mourinho got it all right on the night. The mood, the strategy, the selections, the plan. Mourinho said the Europa League represented Manchester United’s safest route to Europe’s biggest tournament next season, and he was vindicated here in Stockholm.
