I've no idea what to expect, but you could easily be right ... we're missing probably 4 of what might otherwise be our starting XI. It's a bit of surprise to me that Llorente is starting - so more of an attacking set-up than I expected.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Are you nervous?
Yep. Both because of what's at stake and the chance to reach the CL final, and because we're forced to field a weakened team.
Have a stiff drink and just enjoy the game, you've done well to get this far.
I don't understand why Pochettino persists with starting Llorente in the big games, he will end up chasing shadows and now they have no attacking options to choose from the bench. I thought Ajax were maybe going to win before, now I'm almost 100% sure that it will happen.
Edwin!
Come on Ajax!
This is going to be a blood bath. You’d have to be 50 shades of crazy to think this young Ajax side can cope with playing in Spurs’s new stadium.
Have you seen their bench? I honestly don't think there's anyone else he could have played.
Lineker and Rio 
The state of that Spurs bench
Only one vaguely attacking player.. and it's Sissoko. Injuries and suspensions should see this be a win for Ajax, but I like that Pochettino's trying to overload the midfield areas, that worked against Dortmund and could end up working again here.

It's either Llorente, Dier or Davies full back and Rose in to midfield. Not blessed with options right now.
Happy for either of these teams to do well. Both make me sigh at what's become of United.
Supporting our friend Daley Blind, so come on Ajax. 2-1
No axe to grind with Spurs. Glad it's not boring Bayern in the last four that's for sure.

Will be watching Spurs-Ajax. But will switch channels if Barca are dicking Liverpool 4-0.
I can't decide who I want to go through, I love Ajax, they have been the greatest underdog story in Europe this season, beaten teams who are massively favoured over them but on the other hand, I always want English teams to do well, except for City and Liverpool. I also like Pochettino and I want Spurs to get through just so this can be a big feck you to our board for being so dumb to appoint Ole so early. We could have gotten Pochettino and instead we are stuck in the worst managerial appointment again.
The Barca-Liverpool match is tomorrow night.
Have to record Spurs game for tomorrow then.
Barca is playing tomorrow.
Finally a match which i can watch as a neutral and not care who wins. Hoping for lots of goals, hopefully 4-4 or something like that
The two semifinals are never played on the same day
Apart from our missing players, I'm a bit concerned that Ajax have had a whole week's rest for this game ... whereas our squad is not far away from running on empty.
Ah well, que sera sera. Hopefully we'll go into the 2nd leg with still having a reasonable chance to reach the final.

I hope Ajax win the damn thing like its 1995 again.
Since you asked
"Ajax Amsterdam". "Olé olé". "Ajax Jews, super Jews, hey hey". "Ajax Amsterdam, lala-lala"
Sissoko is a big loss for Spurs who have looked tired lately. Would like to see Spurs go through tbh but it could go either way.
Hi everybody. Could anybody PM me a link for tonight? Much appreciated. French girl who wants to see LLoris do well

Ajax are a Jewish club?? Learn something new everyday
This stadium and atmosphere puts us to bloody shame to be fair
Spurs stadium looks amazing tbh.
CL anthem is playing, you barbarians!
Proper shitting myself
Not gonna lie, that Spurs stadium always fills me with envy, rage and frustration in equal measure.
Imagine capping it all with a Champions League trophy in their new cabinet.

Sorry for asking, but any links for this game?
Go on then Ajax you sissy twats. Make us proud.
Like imaging unicorns.
Biggest game in Spurs history! (well both games). May the best team win not just this game but the final too!
Everyone knows what Tottenham do when they get close to winning something.
Spurs are dominating first hundred seconds!
You are a traitor to your club and every proper good football fan. Spite is like 50% of being a fan!
