Manchester United fell categorically 3-0 against Sevilla and, thus, was left out of the UEFA Europa League after drawing 2-2 in the first leg in Manchester. The goals scored by Youssef En-Nesyri on two occasions and the remaining one by the center-back Loïc Badé set definitive figures.
Casemiro played the 180 minutes of the tie against Sevilla and the specialized press is asking more of the Brazilian midfielder, pointing out that he is one of the most experienced players on the squad: “He had no influence throughout the night. Strange performance for the Brazilian who saw the yellow card”, stated the Manchester Evening News about yesterday’s game. Fred was also in the game but entered when it was two-nil, so there was little he could do to find something to narrow the gap.

Although more was expected of the team’s performance in general by the press and fans, En-Nesyri’s early goal, after a new error by Harry Maguire, complicated ten Hag’s team from the start of the game.
One of the fundamental points for the elimination was the first leg, where United began winning two to zero with goals from Marcel Sabitzer, it was that they received the tie five minutes from the end. With own two goals, they complicated a series that seemed on track for the English team.
With this elimination, United will focus on the Premier League where, although it is in third position, it is 15 points behind leader Arsenal, so it can be said that the title race is far away. They will fight for a direct spot in next season’s Champions League.
