Manchester United thrashed Betis 4-1 in the first leg of their last-16 tie, before securing a narrow 1-0 win in the away leg in Seville, thanks to Marcus Rashford’s second-half goal, to progress to the last eight of Europe’s second tier competition. Prior to that, Ten Hag’s side had defeated La Liga-leaders Barcelona 4-3 in the two-legged playoff tie. Meanwhile, when it comes to the domestic circuit, the Red Devils have already lifted the EFL Cup title to end their six-year trophy drought, reached the last four of the FA Cup and are currently occupying fourth spot in the English top flight standings. On Saturday, Erik ten Hag’s side recorded their 17th league-win of the season thanks to two unanswered goals from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are going through one of their worst La Liga season’s in the recent history, having collected just 32 points from 28 games, to be languishing at the 13th position in the Spanish top flight standings, just five points clear of the relegation zone. Last time out, Los Nervionenses shared the spoils against Celta Vigo thanks to goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Marcus Acuna. Nonetheless, the Sevilla giants progressed 3-2 on aggregate in their knockout round playoff before beating Fenerbahce 2-1 despite losing the second leg in Turkey.
Manchester United probable starting lineup: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, L Martinez, Malacia, Casemiro, McTominay, Fernandes, Antony, Martial, Sancho
Sevilla probable starting lineup: Bono, Montiel, Bade, Gudelj, Acuna, Fernando, Rakitic, Ocampos, Torres, Lamela, En-Nesyri
