LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United's Europa League final against Ajax later on Wednesday no longer feels important in the wake of Monday's bomb attack at a concert in the city, former United defender Phil Neville said on Wednesday.

"When I was told I'd be working on this match, it felt like it was Christmas Day," the 40-year-old told the BBC. "But I don't want to be at this game now, I want to be in Manchester."
