A psychic Dutch cow has gone against all odds to predict that United will lose to Ajax Amsterdam in tomorrow's highly anticipated Europa League final in Stockholm, Sweden.

The cow commonly known as Sijtje apparently did correctly predict the winner of the Dutch elections out of a possible 11 candidates.

It has become popular in predicting football matches but it's record is no where close to Paul the Octopus' who predicted 12 correct outcomes out of a possible 14 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The cow has around 85% success rate in its predictions and this time predicts doom for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United fans backing Ajax to win at odds of 100-1.

The bookmarkers have priced United as the heavy favourites to lift the trophy.

So how does the cow predict?

It's easy, the owner puts food in labelled buckets (Ajax and Man United club logos) and lets the cow loose.

In this case, the cow is seen to walk straight towards the United bucket only to turn to the Ajax bucket at the last moment and go on to eat its breakfast!

The bucket from which the cow feeds first is presumed to have the label of whoever goes on to win the event.
