FT 3 – 0
Aggregate 5 – 2
Manchester United were dumped out of the Europa League quarter-finals following a dreadful second-leg performance in defeat by Sevilla.
United were well below their best – creating almost nothing going forward, overrun in midfield and making two terrible mistakes in defence – as they exited Europe with a whimper.
The Spanish side were gifted the lead after eight minutes when Youssef En-Nesyri finished following an awful error from Harry Maguire, and Sevilla doubled their advantage shortly after half-time with a looping header from defender Loic Bade.
Sevilla’s win – and United’s humiliation – was complete nine minutes from time when En-Nesyri again capitalised on a shocking mistake, this time from goalkeeper David de Gea, to complete the win.
Having been 2-0 up and cruising in the first leg at Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag’s side contrived to concede five times in the space of 90 minutes – two late own goals in Manchester and three times in Spain – to throw away their chance of European success.
This was the first of a series of potentially season-defining games for United – they take on Brighton at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday and face a key Premier League match at Tottenham on 27 April – and they completely failed this test.
Sevilla meanwhile will play Juventus in a two-legged semi-final on 11 and 18 May. The Italian side beat Sporting 2-1 on aggregate in their quarter-final.
