It was a quarter-final to forget for Manchester United – but a second leg in Seville which is likely to stick in Erik ten Hag’s mind when building his squad for next season.
In the first leg at Old Trafford, United were 2-0 up and cruising only for a pair of late own goals to leave the tie in the balance. The worst was yet to come.
Amid a thunderous atmosphere at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, Sevilla ran out comfortable 3-0 winners – 5-2 on aggregate – with two of their goals directly down to United errors.
Ten Hag’s side only have themselves to blame. No wonder the United manager was furious in his post-match interviews.
“This was a great opportunity, a great occasion, to win something and we gave it away – we have to blame ourselves,” he told BT Sport.
