Rio Ferdinand has his sights set on Europa League glory.

The Premier League champions are currently preparing for their last-32 second-leg clash with Dutch giants Ajax, having already secured a 2-0 victory at the Amsterdam Arena.

United also find themselves in the running for the domestic title, with just two points separating them from rivals Manchester City at the top of the table.

Having dominated much of the contest in the Netherlands, United are looking to book their place in the last-16 of the Europa League, as they hope to bring more European success to the Theatre of Dreams.

Having disappointed in the Champions League this term, Ferdinand is determined to give the United supporters something to cheer about.

The England centre-back said: “We know we’ve got fans to go out and impress – we want them talking about us in the right way.

“As players we demand the highest standards of ourselves and if we don’t meet them the dressing room isn’t a nice place to be.

“You don’t want to be in a position where you’re going into a game and you’re not fighting for titles.”

United are 4/11 to win on the night against Ajax, 1/66 to progress to the last 16 and 7/2 to win the Europa League this season.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp says he remains fully focused on his side’s FA Cup fifth round trip to Stevenage on Sunday.

Redknapp continues to be the favourite (1/5) to become the next England national team boss, but the veteran insists that his sole priority at the moment is helping Spurs finish their season in style.

We want to win the FA cup this year, it would be great for the club.

Harry Redknapp

“It is not a distraction, not at all,” Redknapp told reporters. “I have just been thinking about Stevenage all week, I can’t start thinking about anything else really.

“We want to win the FA cup this year, it would be great for the club. We are in there with a big chance and we have a team as good as any left in there.”

Spurs are 2/7 to see off their League One opponents at Broadhall Way on Sunday, while they are 10/3 to go on and win the FA Cup for the ninth time in their history.

Redknapp will be without injured duo Rafael Van der Vaart and William Gallas, while Younes Kaboul is unlikely to feature due to a knee problem, but recent signing Ryan Nelsen may well be handed a club debut.

Meanwhile, Stevenage boss Gary Smith is hoping to spring a massive shock, adding: “Upsets are a big part of the FA Cup.

“It could happen and if we are going to have a chance, the best possible opportunity is going to come here at home.”

Yes                            4/11

KEY STAT: Porto are unbeaten at home this season

EXPERT VERDICT: Porto have won their last six home matches in all competitions but the current Europa League champions could find it difficult to break down Manchester City and the draw is the best bet. The Premier League leaders have promised to take the competition seriously and have the squad depth to rotate where needed.

RECOMMENDATION: Draw BET

=======================

 Ajax v Man Utd 

KEY STAT: Twelve of United’s last 14 games have produced at least three goals

EXPERT VERDICT: The Europa League is the consolation prize for these Champions League rejects but Manchester United look on a different level to Ajax and should win well in Amsterdam. The Dutch side are out of form and could struggle even if United make plenty of changes.

RECOMMENDATION: Man Utd BET

Mario Balotelli is poised for a ‘tune-up’ when Manchester City travel to take on holders FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday.

The Italian striker returns from a four-match suspension and has been told by boss Roberto Mancini that he will come straight into the reckoning to provide him with more attacking options.

City are 9/2 to win the Europa League this season while FC Porto can be backed at 25/1.

Don’t forget all Premier League matches are covered by the bet365 100% Euro Soccer Bonus, where you could earn a bonus of up to 100% on your returns on pre-match accumulator bets.

City want the 21-year-old, who has trained constantly during his absence, to get some much-needed match-time in his legs, before the business of trying to win the Premier League title resumes against Blackburn Rovers the following week.

City are now 4/7 to win the Premier League title while nearest challengers Manchester United are available at 6/4 to finish top.

The Blues have spent the last couple of days studying the Portuguese giants and, in particular, Brazilian striker Hulk, who has been on their radar as a possible transfer target.

They are also ready to rest the returning Toure brothers, Kolo and Yaya, following their heartbreak of losing in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations to Zambia on Sunday, and will assess their fitness levels later today.

Mancini admits getting back key personnel could prove a deciding factor on whether they win any silverware this season.

The Etihad chief says: “We will now have all the players back with us in the squad and that will be very important for us.”
