It’s a forgettable quarter for Manchester United – but a Seville play-off is likely to be remembered by manager Erik ten Hag as he builds his squad for next season.
In the first game at Old Trafford, United initially scored twice and in the final minutes of the game they scored twice, which kept the chances even for both sides. A great danger threatened.
On Thursday night, at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium in Seville, where there was much noise from the fans, Sevilla effortlessly won 3-0 against Manchester United to go 5-2 on aggregate, two of them on United’s offense.
Coach Ten Hag’s team won. It is not surprising that this manager was very angry in his post-game interviews with the press.
“It was a great opportunity, a great opportunity to win something and we missed it – we have to think about it,” he told BT Sport.
“It’s over, we can’t change it. We have to see what’s in front of us on Sunday, that’s the next chance.”
“It’s intolerable. We lost strategy, they struggled more than us, they had more desire than us… it’s going to be difficult to win games.
“Anyone can find the requirements and the level should be even higher at a club like Manchester United.”
United play Brighton in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on Sunday before traveling to Tottenham four days later for a crucial Premier League top-four clash earlier in the season.
This year United won the Carabao Cup but if they repeat the same performances as in Sevilla in these games, this year’s game could be in jeopardy.
“Danger for United”

Former United midfielder Paul Scholes told BT Sport: “I think tonight [ryo ku wa kane] A few players from the Ten Hag have decided.
“This might be the only good thing that comes out of this.
“It shows that this team is not good enough when you have injured players. This team can perform well in other games, but when it comes to the circle where they are strong, they fail. Their behavior goes to a low level when the best players are not good”.
Judging by the position of these two teams in the league, it was a surprise defeat as Sevilla sit 13th in Spain’s La Liga, where they have had a terrible season this year, narrowly missing the relegation zone.
However, they are five games unbeaten under Jose Luis Mendilibar – their third oldest manager this season – and, as always in the competition, they have performed well.
It is while Manchester United sit third in the Premier League provisional table.
Speaking of Sevilla, former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves told BT Sport: “These players have won six Europa League titles.
“[United] They’re not finished yet, they were second best in every category.
“I don’t think any of us expected it to turn out like this [uyu mukino] lost in the second half at Old Trafford and United weren’t ready for that game.
“Seville played like it was all over [nkaho ari ugupfa no gukira]. “It’s dangerous for United.”
