As players came to applaud the travelling fans, objects were hurled at them in shocking scenes.

The video captured by Eus Roovers and posted on Twitter shows some of the seats hitting stewards and others making it all the way to the pitch.

After the game Davy Klaassen hit out at United for playing long-ball football, while accepting his side were not good enough.

He told RTL7 : “We were simply not good enough. It is very difficult against a team like that.

“You know they are just waiting and then kick it long. They scored two lucky goals.

“We didn’t start well. We had a bit more possession after 15, 20 minutes or so. They just waited around. Both of their goals were lucky.

“There were not an awful lot of real chances. We tried to play our way through, but we were not good enough. It will have something to do with our opponent.

“They knew exactly what to do. And when you are not on top of your game, it is very difficult.”

Peter Bosz agreed with Klaassen’s comments – claiming both sides played their part in making the showpiece a dull affair.

He said: “I’m disappointed because you play finals to win them. We didn’t.

“I haven’t seen the Ajax that I’m used to, which means good football, high pressing and being dominant.

“High pressing was difficult because Man United only played long balls and didn’t take any risks in the build-up.

“I think it was a boring game. There were no chances from both sides.”
