Manchester United's Europa League disaster in Sevilla contained next to no positives.
The 3-0 humbling in Spain sent Erik ten Hag's side crashing out of Europe at the quarter final stage. United were two up in the first leg at Old Trafford before conceding two late own goals to draw 2-2 and surrender a crucial advantage.
United were left ruing that on Thursday night as they produced a dismal performance to bow out to the serial Europa League winners. There were poor performers across the board with the Reds completely outplayed.

In among the fall-out was another booking for midfielder Casemiro. The Brazil international has been suspended three times already this season and in theory faced a European ban after his latest caution.
The 31-year-old would have missed the first leg of a semi-final had United gone through. But the ban does not carry over to European competition for the 2023-24 season meaning the midfielder will be available for Ten Hag's continental opener next term in either the Champions League or Europa League. Yellow cards in Europe also do not apply to domestic competition so Casemiro will be free for the domestic run-in as United seek a place in the FA Cup final this weekend when they face Brighton at Wembley. That game is a 4.30pm kick off on Sunday.
Casemiro has made 40 appearances for United since his summer arrival from Real Madrid. He has been booked 10 times and sent off twice in that period.
