Paul Scholes makes Bruno Fernandes admission after Manchester United defeat at Sevilla

Paul Scholes insisted Manchester United badly missed Bruno Fernandes on Thursday night as they exited the Europa League at the hands of Sevilla.

The Reds crashed out of the Europa League after losing 5-2 on aggregate to six-time winners Sevilla, who secured their place in the semi-finals thanks to a 3-0 win in the second leg. Erik ten Hag's side had taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the first leg at Old Trafford last week, but they were pegged back by two own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire.

Sevilla dominated the second leg and made the mistake of another Maguire mistake to take the lead at half time. Things went from bad to worse as the home side extended their lead after the break when Loic Bade converted from close range. David de Gea, who also played a role in Sevilla's opening goal, then gifted the Spanish outfit a third when he misjudged a high through ball - allowing En-Nesyri to slot into an empty net.
