MANCHESTER UNITED put their top-four ambitions aside to focus on a tasty Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla.
The Red Devils have already embarrassed Spanish opposition this season by delivering a 5-1 round of 16 pummelling on Real Betis.
And United will be oozing with confidence having just secured a hard-fought win against Everton.
However, Erik ten Hag cannot afford to take this tie lightly as Sevilla are the most decorated team in the competition.
Furthermore, United went crashing out of Europe at the hands of the Spanish giants when they last met in 2020.
