Manchester United learn opponents for Europa League quarter-finals

Manchester United will meet Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after the draw for the next round took place in Nyon this afternoon.

The Red Devils will return to Seville in April to face yet another Spanish team in Europe, having also been drawn against Real Sociedad in the groups and Barcelona in the playoff round.

Amidst rumours regarding meeting between the Glazers and potential new owners, United booked their place in the quarter-final last night with a routine 1-0 win against Real Betis. Marcus Rashford scored a spectacular goal to make it 5-1 on aggregate after United had dominated last week’s match at Old Trafford.

INEOS founder Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani have made offers to buy United to American merchant bankers Raine, which was brought in to assist the club in assessing bids.

The club’s owners, the Glazer family, announced last November they were conducting a strategic review, with the sale of United one option being considered.

Man Utd’s route to the final

Should things turn out as expected in each of the drawn fixtures - which is never how it works out - then Manchester United will have to defeat Sevilla, Juventus and probably Jose Mourinho’s Roma in the final if they want to win the Europa League this year.

That’s one tough route to the title. Erik ten Hag’s men have definitely been put in the more difficult side of the draw.
