UEL reaction: Man United exit Europa League

-

 Sevilla 3 - 0 Manchester United (5-2 on aggregate)

For 80 minutes at Old Trafford last week, it was all going so well for Manchester United. Then it all fell apart.

Man United exit Europa League - 1

They were put out of their misery and dumped out of the Europa League quarter-finals following a dreadful second-leg performance in defeat by Sevilla.

United were well below their best as they exited Europe with a whimper. The Spanish side were gifted the lead after eight minutes when Youssef En-Nesyri finished following an awful error from Harry Maguire, and Sevilla doubled their advantage shortly after half-time with a looping header from defender Loic Bade.

Sevilla's win was complete nine minutes from time when En-Nesyri again capitalised on a shocking mistake, this time from goalkeeper David de Gea, to complete the win.

United missed Bruno

Manchester United's midfield suffered without Bruno Fernandes in Sevilla. After receiving a yellow card in the first leg at Old Trafford, Fernandes was suspended and missed this horrendous evening.

One United fan told us: "He is the one who puts his foot on the ball and is prepared to play those brave passes. A lot of other fans criticise Fernandes because he all the time. I like him." 

Let's explore all the best reaction.

"The players are responsible."

Richard Thomas is a Manchester United Season Ticket Holder. He was very critical of the team's performance, Richard added: "Ultimately, these players are responsible for their output. Erik ten Hag is to blame for picking them regularly. There have been many positives this season, I just hope we can complete this season with a place in next season's Champions League and avoid the Thursday night marathon."

"I'm not surprised at all at the defeat."

Adrian Seddon was in the away end in Spain. Despite being critical of the team's performance, he did have the occasional performance. Adrian added: "With all the injuries and suspensions, the Sevilla tie was always a tough ask and I'm not surprised at all at the defeat. But our so-called big players didn't do their jobs and Ten Hag is going to be rightly furious."

"That was a massive opportunity missed."

Sam Jones, a Manchester based business owner, added his thoughts: "That was a massive opportunity missed against an average Sevilla side. We were the architects of our own downfall. We have to bounce back against Brighton, get to a cup final, and also get the top four sorted. That would make tit a good season. However, it's the end for Maguire now though. He brings nervousness to his teammates and was more to blame than David de Gea."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
