SANCHO SHOT BLOCKED
Fernando may be able to hear the drums but he doesn't see Antony, passing straight to his compatriot who launches a counter-attack. United work it to Sancho, but his shot is blocked by the busy Nianzou.
27'
SEVILLA SYSTEM NOT WORKING
Gudelj heads wide from a Torres cross, but the fact he's being relied upon to get in the box shows the issue with Sevilla's set-up. They're toothless in attack and evidently not water-tight at the back.

SABITZER SCORES AGAIN
Manchester United 2-0 Sevilla (Sabitzer)
Ten Hag's decision to play Sabitzer is certainly paying dividends. United launch a counter-attack on this occasion, Martial holds up the ball again and then releases Sabitzer, who times his run to perfection before firing past Bono.

SABITZER GIVES UNITED LEAD
Manchester United 1-0 Sevilla (Sabitzer)
Sabitzer finishes off a crisp team move to give the hosts the lead! It all comes after Martial drops deep and shows off some smart footwork, and with the striker out of position Sabitzer advances. Fernandes finds Sabitzer with a defence-splitting pass and his shot is deflected over Bono into the net.

MONTIEL TO MISS SECOND LEG
Montiel has a go from range but it hits his team-mate Fernando on the arm. Montiel then throws the ball away to stop United taking a quick free kick and earns a costly booking.

DE GEA UNSURE OF UNITED FUTURE
Just 10 minutes until kick-off, so why not indulge in some pre-match transfer news?
David de Gea is out of contract in the summer and is yet to agree on a new deal - that's covered in today's Paper Round along with a Jude Bellingham update.

UNITED MUST GIVE "BEST PERFORMANCE"
Ten Hag says United are "fully aware" of Sevilla's pedigree in this competition. You must "give your best performance and you have to do it in two legs" to get past Sevilla, he cautioned.

HALF-CENTURY FOR TEN HAG
This is Erik ten Tag's 50th game in charge of Manchester United and he is not the only one hitting a milestone.
SEVILLA ON THIRD MANAGER OF THE SEASON
Sevilla have changed manager twice this season, with the pragmatic Jose Luis Mendilibar now in the dugout. However, Eurosport Spain's Felix Martin believes sporting director Monchi is more to blame for a poor season than departed managers Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli.
"I think the best justification [for what has gone wrong] is terrible sports planning," he said.
"On many occasions the sporting director has taken over the media spotlight, acting more important than the coach and the players themselves. This caused the departure of Lopetegui and Sampaoli this season, along with players that Monchi himself signed to be important, such as Isco."
