For United, the tone was set early on as another bizarre decision by David de Gea to pass to an under-pressure Harry Maguire, whose slack pass out wide was intercepted, allowed Youssef En-Nesyri to put Sevilla in front after just eight minutes.

Ten Hag’s side failed to register a shot on target in the first half and were fortunate not to end the opening 45 minutes two goals down as Lucas Ocampos’ brilliant finish was ruled out for a tight offside in the build up.
