Open to correction 8 changes Sevilla have made tonight. Is tonight closer to their first choice team or are resting starters for Thursday?

It's sort of a mixture I'd say. En Nesyri, their best striker is in the starting lineup, so is Navas, but Torres and Rakitic are not. Nor is Lamela. Also, it's Dmitrovic who is GK
It's a huge game for them. A win would be a major boost for Thursday, if they lose they'll be in pretty uncomfortable situation.

Our bench will be pretty damn thin for this one. Assuming the following XI start:

DDG

AWB - - - Maguire - - - Lindelöf - - - Dalot

Casemiro - - - Eriksen
Fred

Antony - - - - - - - - - - - Sancho

Martial

...and Shaw, McTominay, Malacia & Sabitzer are out, we've basically got WW, Elanga & Pellistri out of senior players to bring in. All forwards. Massive pressure for our starters to get the job done.

Yes. We do not want extra time and penalties on Thursday considering the amount of important games ahead and low quality bench options.

SER19 · Apr 16, 2023

Would love 2 big semi final ties to keep the season going, and would hate to go out to such a poor team. Plenty of absences, wouldn't be surprised to see martial only start 1 of next 2

De gea
Awb
Lindelof
Maguire
Dalot
Casemiro
Fred
Eriksen
Antony
Martial
Sancho

At least Casemiro can pick up a booking here.

He can’t , if he does he is out for the 1st leg of the semi

Do they not reset from semi final onwards? Thought they did.

Swedish_Plumber · Apr 16, 2023

Prepared for us to be the better side but then to roll around and have the ref buy it every time.

Nou_Camp99 · Apr 16, 2023

I want us to win this game so so badly. Probably more so than I normally would any Europa tie as I'm sick to the back teeth of this jammy Spanish side. It's time to break the curse.

Tragically Hip · Apr 16, 2023

Destined for penalties.

JJ12 · Apr 16, 2023

So incredibly frustrating that we gifted them parity going into the 2nd leg. They were utterly awful for the first hour or so.

We should be too good for them but it's Sevilla, in Sevilla, in the Europa League.

They do reset but you still have to serve a suspension if you pick up a second booking in the quarter-final second leg. But if Casemiro avoids a booking on Thursday, his cards will be wiped.

Havak · Apr 16, 2023

Out:

Bruno (Suspended)
Varane
Garnacho
Van de Beek
Martinez

Doubtful:

McTominay
Shaw
Rashford
Sabitzer
Malacia

I believe McTominay and Shaw trained with the team for 1-2 sessions so far, you'd expect they could be in the squad for Thursday which would be a boost. Malacia's knock to his knee doesn't sound that bad, but I'd still guess he's a 50/50. Sabitzer I think will be out, tweak to the groin is something we'd be careful with. As for Rashford, EtH sounded more optimistic recently, but I think he'll play against Brighton and not here.

Personally, I think we should start with a CB pairing of Lindelof and Shaw if we can, as we will be forced to go with that pairing against Brighton and I'd rather have used it at least once before! But I can understand if Maguire starts.

Sevilla 1-0 up tonight, Another lucky goal for them

DRJosh · Apr 16, 2023

Sevilla are well versed in the dark arts and i won’t be surprised if they target some of our players through provocation

We need to be ruthless for this and Casemiro needs to keep his cool as we can’t afford going down to 10 men

looked like a foul on the defender. Now got away with a handball in the penalty box, they are one lucky side.

Ayoba · Apr 16, 2023

They will cry, cheat, fall down, basically shithouse at every single opportunity. Then score a jammy goal and that will be it.

LawCharltonBest · Apr 16, 2023

Hope I am wrong but my gut tells me this will be the end of the road

2-1 to Sevilla

BluesJr · Apr 16, 2023

Beat this despicable club.

Does this falling over every 15 seconds nonsense work in La liga?

A 2nd Sevilla goal looks like they'll be going into Thursday's game on a high.

ETH will play the same team that started today except it will be Fred for Bruno if Sabitzer is not fit.

Josh 76 · Apr 16, 2023

Strangely, Utds season could be over by this time next week.
League Cup won
Out of Europa
Out of FA cup
Top 4 almost done.

Hope I’m wrong!

always_hoping · Apr 16, 2023

And now Valencia given a penalty and the ref changes his mind when viewing it on the screen. A red card for Valencia as i type.

BorisManUtd · Apr 16, 2023

In 2018 Sevilla beat us deservedly. 2020 EL semis - we missed few sitters in that game and lost. Last Thursday - it was 3 days ago, no explanation needed. Can’t catch a break against these.

That's the spirit :lol:

We could be through to the semi finals of the Europa and on our way to another final at Wembley.

Which one would you prefer if it only had to be one of those two competitions where we progress?

Go through in Fa Cup - only one final game left to be played early June; but we’ve already won one domestic trophy this season

Go through in Europa - 2 more SF games in early May (would make it even busier month), but would mean possibly European trophy and us in Pot 1 for next season CL draw.

Both about equal in those regards.

But the fact the FA Cup Final would be against Man City - where we'd be big underdogs - means, out of the two, I'd choose going through in the Europa League where we wouldn't have to beat the same calibre of opposition in order to win it.

Though, with our current injury issues, beating Sevilla away and / or Brighton at Wembley within 3 days would be great efforts from the players.

SuperiorXI · Apr 16, 2023

I was worried but based on our performance tonight we should be fine. Eriksen back is huge for us.

Bertie Wooster · Apr 16, 2023

Usual knockout cup game nerves about this one, and it would be especially hurtful if we go out with the way the first leg went.

Not sure if anyone will be back in time. Probably McTominay and Shaw the most likely. But I think we'll only use Shaw as a sub at most as we really need him for Brighton with Maguire's suspension.

With limited options, I think it'll be the same team as today with just Bruno's replacement to be between Sabitzer or Fred.

De Gea

AWB
Lindelof
Maguire
Dalot

Casemiro
Eriksen

Antony
Sabitzer / Fred
Sancho

Martial

BorisManUtd · Apr 16, 2023

Like was the case with home game vs Barca that came 3 days before CC final game, playing extra time would be the worst with Brighton game on Sunday. So a repeat of Barca would be awesome.

TMDaines · Apr 16, 2023

C’mon lads. Get this done.

always_hoping · Apr 17, 2023

Last time United drew the 1st leg at home 2-2 and still won the tie was against Porto in 2009?

I use to dread these trips to Spain as United had an awful record there. Better results in Spain since the trimming off Barcelona 4 years ago and hopefully it continues that way on Thursday.

V Betis 0-1
V Barcelona 2-2
V Sociedad 0-1
V Atletico Madrid 1-1
V Villarreal 0-2
V Granada 0-2

Rampant Red Rodriguez · Apr 17, 2023

We have our best midfield combination firing on all cylinders again and it gives me encouraging signs for the 2nd leg. It gives the defence better protection for a very tough away leg and constructs the blunt attack we have a bit better. With Martial getting more minutes in his legs I'm optimistic about scoring there, even if we do have Sancho in the team :houllier:

. I'm also hoping that Sabitzer was only a precaution because he could be a very effective sub to bring on.

Bruno is going to be a huge miss. Hopefully Sabitzer's injury isn't too severe, all on Eriksen to create for us.

Yeah Bruno has looked back to his Jan 2020 form playing in that deeper role last couple of games. Really hoping Sabitzer pulling out of warm up was just precautionary

Chaky_Best · Apr 17, 2023

Sevilla were utterly poor last Thursday at Old Trafford.

Except one free kick from Rakitic, one or two set pieces, Jesus Navas crosses they were not that impressive.

We played our game for 35 minutes and could have won 3-0 easily.

It's ours to win this game. Won't be easy but we can do it.

Issue is that the bench will be light if we don't have one or two guys back (Wout, Elanga, Pellistri)

Catt · Apr 17, 2023

Damn, no Bruno for this

DickDastardly · Apr 17, 2023

Tis going to be the easiest win of the season.

0-3 by half time.

TheRedDevil'sAdvocate · Apr 17, 2023

They won the six-pointer at Valencia yesterday 2-0. They steered eight points clear off the relegation zone and they left the Ches struggling at the bottom. It wouldn't surprise me, if they went on to win the damn thing again.

Watched the game with Valencia last night, Valencia are utter garbage and they beat them 2-0. Courtesy of some dodgy VAR use on the first goal and also denying Valencia a penalty for handball. It was a shite match, very low on quality.
.
Should be beating these, they aren't really that good, what happened on Thursday shouldn't happen again, went 2-0 up and lost all momentum with the subs and allowed them to shithouse there way back into the game.

They'll be rolling around, time wasting and play acting from minute one. Get an early goal and then play them at their own game.
