Against the history of Sevilla, Manchester seeks its qualification to the semis

Sevilla receives Manchester United this Thursday in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, a duel that those from Nervión, always hand in hand with their tradition and mystique in a competition that they always raised when they reached the semifinals, they arrive with many options to liquidate an English team diminished by sensitive casualties, although the executioner of Spanish football in this edition.

The people of Seville left Old Trafford with a lot of life last Thursday, after drawing with two own goals from the Red Devils in the last five minutes, which threw away all the good work done until the final stretch of the match. Erik ten Hag's men overwhelmed Sevilla from the start, with a brace from Sabitzer in the first 20 minutes, but relaxation and misfortune gave Sevilla fans wings.

Focused on countering the magic and mystique that Sevilla enjoys in this competition, Manchester United must win at Sánchez-Pizjuán with a long list of casualties that include McTominay, Garnacho and Van de Beek, as well as Lisandro Martínez and Varane, injured in the first leg against the Seville team.

However, Erik ten Hag has included Rashford in the call-up, who missed the first leg and is the author of 28 goals this season. The forward seems not to be one hundred percent, but given the price of the loot that is at stake, the Dutch coach could make use of his most dangerous weapon. Shaw, Sabitzer and Malacia are also part of the English expedition. Those from Ten Han also won their domestic commitment this weekend, when they beat Nottingham Forest, to get a run for the complicated duel that awaits them in Seville. Correcting the disconnections at the back, despite the insecure pairing of Maguire-Lindelof central defenders, will be key to trying to break the spirit of the people from Seville.
