So much negativity from the team so much fail.
Deserved to lose.

Deserved, and not surprising

No attacking nous, no real desire from the team (a few individuals deserve credit, namely Lukaku and Rashford)

Pogba looked like he didn't care.

This is a result we absolutely deserve, and Mourinho deserves all the criticism he is going to get. There are no excuses for starting a game you MUST win with Fellaini starting. He constantly sets us up in a negative manor as a team who has to contain the opposition, its no wonder Pogba, Martial, Sanchez and all pur creative players look so poor under him, whilst they have ALL flourished under positive attacking managers.

Awful tactics under a past it manager, I have had enough of United under him. To all those who thought that result away to Sevilla was a good result, deluded, to those who think Fellaini is a player we should have in our squad deluded, to those who think we have improved just because we sit 2nd in the league deluded. Season is over and not a minute to soon because since Liverpool away we have been dire to watch.

Jose's ego got the better of him. Believed his own hype after the last 3 "tactical masterclasses" and went a step too far even for him. If you always try not to lose, you will lose sight of how to win.

And that is FCUKIN why you dont start a home game with Fellaini and Matic!

Should of stuck with the team that comfortably beat Liverpool!

Big fan of Jose but this falls 100% on him here. Gave far too much respect for a very shite Sevilla team!

Absolutely awful. We played aimless cowardly football at home.

Lukaku deserves credit. But he's the only one.

No excuses for that absolute shitshow. Completely deserved result and we were beaten by the better team. Abysmal tactics and set up.

No McTominay, no party. Needed that stability in midfield. You always do in Europe. I liked the selection of Fellaini but him playing off ththe front isn't where you want him. Matic was isolated again and there were gaps all over. Rashford was shocking. The fullbacks were very poor.

Shocking performance that. Can't say nothing more as its one of the most disappointing 180 minutes of football I've seen United play.

Its like you hand an enemy agent a specific mission and he carries that out successfully.

Exactly how Mourinho has mastered United's Exit from Champions League. I am just speechless how pathetic he has approached this game. Unbelievably awful.

feck off Jose, just feck off. This is all on you. Your gutless tactics in the first leg and again today have cost us and have no place at this club. You are finished as a top level manager, do the right thing tonight and admit defeat and feck off.

180 minutes of football that Mourinho got completely wrong. The game was won in midfield after Mourinho made the insane and suicidal decision to leave us outnumbered in that zone in both legs.

No complaints, the better side went through.

This is on the players more than Mourinho. It's a fecking unacceptable performance from everyone bar Lukaku. No amount of tactical genius wins games when the players show a complete inability to find a team mate with a pass for 90 straight minutes like they did today. Honestly felt like the whole team had been Space Jam'd.

Not that the tactics were good. Our players were just so much worse. Pogba should clean the bogs at Old Trafford for the remainder of the year. He can use Fellaini as a brush.

Just sick of the negative tactics. To start playing only when we're down is depressing

Mourinho got it wrong. Fellaini playing well. Pogba coming on disrupted what threat we had. Sanchez never had a kick from that point on.

Mourinho lost us the match its that simple. Cowardly tactics for absolutely no reason. One of the worst performances I've seen for a long long time

Car (or bus) crash football, we deserve all criticism forthcoming. We've been treading a thin line recently and tonight it went the other way for us so it's hard to say we didn't deserve it, it's completely unacceptable to wait until we're in dire straights before we inject any sort of urgency into our play

Worst performance I can remember seeing. The state of a Fellaini, Lingard and Matic midfield three is an embarrassment.

People will gripe at Mourinho but the players who cannot pass the ball five yards have to take the blame.

A shower of a performance. Sanchez should be benched and so should Pogba.

We've seen too many good players turn to shit under this manager for it to be anything other than him. His cowardly tactics and shameful football. It's boring and embarrassing to watch United these days, and only barely tolerable when we win matches. But it's been tumescent shit forever. And this just takes the cake.

I can categorically say that I have no support left to give Mourinho. He is the exact opposite of the type of coach I want at this club. Manchester United and shit on a stick football, do not go together. Sadly, this club is now more about making money, and as long as he gets us in the CL, he'll still have a job.

I've supported this club since I knew about football - about 5 years old - and it means more to me than just a game. It's the only connection I had to my estranged, and now late, father. He would be turning in his grave to see what a fecking spineless shower this manager has turned us into.

I will not post in the football forum (a blessed relief to many I am sure) or watch another game until this fecking charlatan has gone. Most games make my eyes bleed, and that is not what football is supposed to be about.

Mourinho out. I'm done.

Poor. Now I was expecting a difficult game, the manner of our defeat is hard to take. We only showed drive when we went down. City would have put five past them. Look, Seville are better than some are making out, but we should have showed more drive and ambition. I called it before the match in that it was going to be like Celta Vigo last year. For the players we have, we should be beating them though.

Form is temporary, bans are permanent.
Fellaini starting this match was the wrong decision. Martial should have come on at halftime if not started the game. I can't believe we were set up so defensively since we didn't have an away goal. Pedestrian performance. When is Pogba going to step up in a must win game such as this in the CL or the Prem?

I can't believe it took two goals to be conceded to provoke a response. Lukaku was jogging till then.

Pogba needs to go in the summer. Worst player by a long way and that sub cost us the game.

Underrate CL at your own peril.
You're at OT, go for the neck from the get go, don't play like it's a stroll in the park whole friggin game.
Why don't go with the same team as vs Liverpool. Why wait with Martial and Pogba.
Terrible, just terrible.

Cowardly football. Sitting back against a team there for the tacking. Lost patience with Mourinho tonight.

I mean, will it be this bad next season? That's my only question.

Do you give this manager another £200m-£300m, or start over?

I don't see how it's not a legitimately quandary.

Fellaini was not playing well, at the time he was the worst player on the pitch by a country mile.

Dont embarass yourself by trying to claim otherwise.

This is what happens when the manager picks his 'favourite' players to start instead of the right players playing in their best position.

What else is there to say? Manager lost us this match. I hope he earns his money and quickly finds a way to pick up the team and get them ready for the FA cup tie.

Honestly, Sanchez needs to sit on the bench. Constantly losing the ball and caused a lot of upheaval in the squad whilst not providing any end product. Just brought his Arsenal curse to the team.
