Manchester United travel to Spain for the fourth time this season to take on Sevilla with a place in the Europa League semi-final up for grabs.

The tie hangs in the balance after Ten Hag’s men threw away a two goal lead with just over five minutes remaining in the first leg. Late own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire gave the Spanish side hope after United dominated much of the game.

Sevilla are struggling in La Liga but secured an important 2-0 win against Valencia at the weekend whilst The Reds are still vying for a cup treble. Here are the ones to watch ahead of the Europa League quarter-final.

Manchester United – Antony

The 86 million pound man is finding his feet at United. Antony’s importance to the side is perhaps more noticeable when he doesn’t play and the Brazilian is fresh off the back of perhaps his best performance in a United shirt at the weekend.

The man who decided the tie against Barcelona might well have the final say again in Seville.

Sevilla – Youssef En-Nesyri

Sevilla’s top goalscorer was left on the bench last Thursday but he had a say late in the game after forcing the Maguire own goal to level the scores. El-Nesyri has 14 goals in a struggling Sevilla team this season, 12 of which have come after the World Cup break.

Given the disappointing performance from Sevilla last week – despite the result – En-Nesyri could return to the fold and will keep United’s makeshift defence busy.
