MANCHESTER UNITED have landed a tough quarter-final draw against Sevilla in the Europa League.
United have already seen off Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Betis in the knockout stages, as well as Real Sociedad in the group.
But they will return to Iberia for a third time after landing Sevilla.
And to make matters worse, they’ve never beaten the LaLiga outfit in three attempts.
The Red Devils managed a draw and then a defeat in the 2018 Champions League last 16.
And Sevilla then secured victory in 2020’s Europa League semi.

Should United manage to make it past Sevilla, they then face a hard semi-final against either Juventus or Sporting Lisbon.
The latter knocked out Arsenal on penalties last night, denying the English public a potential Premier League showdown.
And they now have a mouthwatering tie against Italian giants Juventus to look forward to.
Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen got the best tie of the round against minnows Union Saint-Gilloise.

Meanwhile, West Ham will take the short hop across the Channel to face Belgian side Gent in the last eight of the Conference League.
David Moyes’ men have made a mockery of their Prem struggles with a 100 per cent winning record in Europe.
Now they take on the team currently fifth in the Jupiler League for a place in the semi-finals.
And the Hammers, who reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last term, could have a repeat journey for the last four clash.
If they beat Gent, West Ham will play the winners of the tie between Dutch side Alkmaar and Belgians Anderlecht, whom they have already beaten twice this season.
