The true favorites, the Red Devils start as the candidates to advance to the round

Although Sevilla is the king of this tournament with six championship titles, this season has been very unstable and they are fighting not to be relegated in the domestic competition.

The Old Trafford team is in fourth position in the Premier League and advanced steadily in the second continental competition, after facing Real Sociedad, Barcelona and Betis in the previous rounds.

Sevilla, which is very concerned about its performance in LaLiga, does not have a good memory of United after being eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 in the 2017-2018 season.

In addition, in the Europa League of the 2019-2020 season, the Sevilla team once again eliminated the Red Devils, this time in the single-match semifinal.

The constant changes in Seville

Sevilla's manager, Jose Luis Mendilibar is the third manager of the season after Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli. The Sevillian team traveled to Manchester with a call-up without major news, except for the presence of Argentine Lucas Ocampos and the absence of Senegalese Pape Gueye. Mendilibar cannot count on the Mexican winger Jesus Corona either, who was discarded from the entry list for the European competition.
