Marcel Sabitzer, Manchester United midfielder, assured that they conceded two stupid goals to Sevilla and that they should have sentenced the game much earlier. Manchester United easily dominated the Spaniards 2-0 until the last five minutes, when two own goals were scored to leave the tie alive for Sevilla.

It has been a roller coaster, but we should have sentenced. We had the chances and we controlled the game, Sabitzer told BT Sport. We have given away two very easy goals. We can't make those mistakes and now we're disappointed. You have to be focused until the end, if in these competitions you drop 1% you can give away the game. It has been a strange ending, with one less man. They have been stupid goals. You cannot concede these goals. It is very frustrating, admitted the Austrian.

For his part, the Manchester United coach, Erik ten Hag, stated that they should have scored more goals against Sevilla and have sentenced this Thursday, in the first leg, the quarterfinal tie of the Europa Football League.

We had the game in our hands, we scored two great goals with Sabitzer and we should have scored three or four and sealed this. But we were unlucky, we also had injuries and also changes, because Martial was only his second match after the injury, Bruno had a yellow card.

De Gea's statements 

We lost control and were unlucky at times. I mean, we have conceded two goals against. We have lost pace with injuries, Ten Hag said. The strategist assured that he has the arguments to achieve the result that his team needs in the second leg and to advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.
