Predicted Manchester United line-up v Sevilla

Manchester United take on Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-final first leg tonight at Old Trafford.

Another Spanish club lies in Manchester United’s path tonight. Having taken on Real Sociedad, Barcelona and Real Betis so far in the competition, Sevilla lie in wait.

Sevilla are having a tough domestic season, slumped at 13th in the table. Last season they were in the top four and began this campaign in the Champions League.

They recently changed managers, hiring Jose Luis Mendilibar, who coached Facundo Pellistri at Alaves last season.

Predicted Manchester United line-up
There is mixed news on the injury front for Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford ruled out of this game. He could miss the second leg too.

Luke Shaw is also unavailable for this fixture. The good news is Casemiro is available following suspension. But he and Bruno Fernandes are just one booking away from missing the second leg.

Let’s get to the predicted XI. David de Gea will start in goal, with Tyrell Malacia in at left-back amid Shaw’s absence.

Harry Maguire will drop out of the side for the first choice partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez to start in central defence.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka may retain his place after a strong performance at the weekend against Everton.

There will be changes in midfield with Casemiro starting. Bruno Fernandes will also be part of the midfield three, possibly in the deeper role he has occupied in the last two games.

A fit again Christian Eriksen could go straight back into the line-up too. He could play an advanced role which may be less taxing, on his return.

United’s front three should pick itself due to injuries to Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

Jadon Sancho will start on the left, Antony on the right, and Anthony Martial up front. Back-up options include Wout Weghorst, Facundo Pellistri and Anthony Elanga.
