Erik ten Hag can finally restore his Manchester United midfield balance vs Sevilla

For so long Erik ten Hag was restricted for choice in midfield, the Manchester United manager will have a wealth of options at his disposal for his side's Europa League clash with Sevilla.

United welcome a fourth Spanish side of the season to Old Trafford on Thursday evening, having met Real Sociedad in the group stages before knockout ties against Barcelona and Real Betis. Injury news has dominated the build-up, with confirmation on Wednesday morning that Marcus Rashford would be out for a few weeks followed by news of Scott McTominay's absence.

But despite the latter's injury - which club sources insist is not too serious - Ten Hag will have more midfield options than ever before. Rashford's injury on Saturday somewhat overshadowed not only a good result but the return of Christian Eriksen, the Dane coming off the bench to end a spell of two-and-a-half months out with an ankle injury.
