As stated by Sky Sports, Manchester United are set to face Sevilla in the quarterfinal round of the Europa League.
The Red Devils comfortably defeated Real Betis by a 5-1 scoreline to move to the competition’s round of eight. After defeating Barcelona by a 4-3 aggregate score in the first round of the knockout stage, it was their second consecutive victory over a Spanish opponent.
Erik ten Hag’s team will now face Sevilla, another Spanish team, and they ought to be the favourites to advance to the semifinals. Sevilla holds the record for most Europa League titles won with six, but they have performed horribly in La Liga this year.
With only 28 points, the Andalusian team is barely two points above the relegation zone and now occupies the 13th spot in the standings. Looking at their current status, United should easily defeat them.
The first game will take place on April 13 at Old Trafford, and the second leg will take place on April 20 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
If the Red Devils advance to the semifinals, they will play either Sporting Lisbon or Juventus. When compared to the other competitions, United’s mission in this league is unquestionably more difficult.
In a rematch of last season’s European Conference League championship, Roma will take on Feyenoord, and Bayer Leverkusen has been paired with Union Saint-Gilloise, a team that shocked Union Berlin in the round of 16.
Ten Hag has made it obvious that he wants to defeat the best in order to win the Europa League. The manager has been given the ideal test before the final, which will be played in Budapest on May 31.
