Manchester United endured a difficult night on Thursday as they threw away a two-goal lead in a disappointing Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla.
United led 2-0 going into the closing stages at Old Trafford thanks to Marcel Sabitzer’s first-half goals, but own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire saw Sevilla take a 2-2 draw back to Spain for next week’s second leg. Things were compounded further by injuries, which left United with 10 men after Erik ten Hag had used all five substitutes.
Lisandro Martinez was carried off the pitch by his Argentina team-mates Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuna after going down clutching his leg when no opponent was nearby. Meanwhile, Raphael Varane also had to be taken off at half-time, meaning United lost both first-choice centre-backs.
