United first leg collapse "unacceptable" says Ten Hag

Manchester United were knocked out of the Europa League by a rampant Sevilla who showed once again why they have won this tournament a record six times.

United were nervous all night and an early mistake from David De Gea and Harry Maguire gave the hosts the lead after just eight minutes. Youssef En-Nesyri pressing high to win the ball and tap it past the goalkeeper.

Lucas Ocampos believed he had added a second just before the break but a close VAR call ruled his strike out for offside. Sevilla didn’t need long after the restart tp score though. A corner ball came to Loic Bade who shouldered an effort over the head of De Gea to give the hosts a firm grip on the match.

Things got worse for United’s goalkeeper when, late in the game, he stormed out of his box, miscontrolled the ball and gave En-Nesyri an open goal to secure the win and a spot in the semi-finals.

What is the early team news?

Marcus Rashford returned to Manchester United training ahead of the trip to Spain and is in the squad to face Sevilla after missing the past two games.

Tyrell Malacia missed Sunday’s trip to Forest with a sore knee but also trained on Wednesday.

Marcel Sabitzer, who pulled out of the starting line-up at the City Ground after picking up an issue in the warm-up, also worked with the group, but Scott McTominay did not.

Bruno Fernandes is another out of Thursday’s match as he serves a one-match suspension at Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

Lisandro Martinez and Donny van de Beek are out for the rest of the season, while Alejandro Garnacho and Raphael Varane remain sidelined.

Sevilla vs Man Utd

Hello and welcome to The Independent’s coverage on tonight’s Europa League action where Manchester United look to book a spot in the semi-finals.

Erik ten Hag’s men threw away a two goal lead at Old Trafford last time out as two late own goals cost them a victory. Sevilla, who were the second best team by far, left Manchester with a handy draw and will be confident of overcoming the Red Devils in Spain tonight.

Bruno Fernandes is suspended and leaves a big gap in United’s midfield. Christian Eriksen and Casemiro should be able cover and United are boosted by the return of Marcus Rashford.

They have work to do though and will need to beat Sevilla away from home in order to progress. We’ll have all the action and build-up throughout the night so stick with us.
