Europa League 2016/17 Final: Ajax 0-2 Manchester United, 5 Talking Points

Manchester United celebrate their first ever Europa League triumph

#4 Davinson Sanchez is a future prospect

Sanchez could find many suitors in the upcoming transfer window

In a game where very few things went right for Ajax, a major positive can be taken from the performance of one of their centre-backs, Davinson Sanchez. The 20-year-old was immense at the back, making two excellent last-ditch challenges to deny Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard from getting shots at goal.

He didn’t hesitate to make forward runs either, getting involved in Ajax’s attacks in their ultimately futile attempts to break down a stubborn Manchester United defence. His apparent weakness is his lack of composure when in possession. That will surely improve with time spent on the training ground, making the Colombian one to look out for in the future.
