Manchester United have crashed out of the Europa League after a 0-3 second-leg defeat against Sevilla.
The first leg ended 2-2. But United’s hopes of winning a treble ended in a nightmare following some horrific defending from skipper Harry Maguire who gifted the La Liga side the lead.
Youssef En-Nesyri gave Sevilla the lead after just eight minutes, capitalising on a mix-up between defender Maguire and goalkeeper David de Gea.
Loic Bade headed in the second goal from a corner just two minutes into the second half before En-Nesyri added a late third following a howler from De Gea.
It was the latest in a series of demoralising defeats which have come to characterise Ten Hag’s debut season, and the worse possible preparation for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Brighton at Wembley, where United’s remaining hopes of winning silverware now rest.
Sevilla’s emphatic victory saw United bow out of Europe to Spanish opposition for the sixth successive time, while the six-time winners progress through to a semi-final against Juventus, who beat Sporting 2-1 in their quarter-final.
