Manchester United and Sevilla meet in the quarter finals of the Europa League.

Languishing in the bottom half of La Liga, the Spanish side will know continental success will be their only route to European football next season.

Sevilla, now under the management of Jose Luis Mendilibar, are regular winners in this competition, taking victory most recently in 2020, but begin as underdogs against a Manchester United side that looks to have settled under Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman has already secured one trophy in his first season as manager at Old Trafford and his side could yet challenge for two more, with Manchester United still in the FA Cup and hoping to go deep in this competition.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Manchester United vs Sevilla?

Manchester United vs Sevilla is due to kick off at 8pm BST on Thursday 13 April at Old Trafford in Manchester, England.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the first leg live on BT Sport 1, with coverage from 7pm. Subscribers can stream the game via the BT Sport app or online player.

Team news

Manchester United’s major injury concern is Marcus Rashford, who was forced off during the 2-0 win over Everton with an apparent groin issue. The forward has been ruled out for the next couple of games at least so Anthony Martial’s recent return to fitness will be useful and the Frenchman may well start for Erik ten Hag. Tyrell Malacia should again fill in for Luke Shaw if the left back is unable to return, while Casemiro is available after missing out in the league due to suspension.

Jose Luis Mendilibar will certainly be without his left back, with Alex Telles unable to feature against his parent club. Pape Gueye and Tecatito Corona are not registered on Sevilla’s competition squad list

Predicted line-ups

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Sabitzer, Casemiro, Fernandes; Antony, Martial, Sancho.

Sevilla XI: Dmitrovic; Montiel, Bade, Gudelj, Acuna; Fernando, Rakitic; Suso, Lamela, Gil; En-Nesyri.
