84min: There is a check for a United penalty after a foul inside the box, but it is quite rightly waved away as United begin to desperate.

GOAL! SEVILLA 2-1 Manchester United

78min: Luuk de Jong hasn’t scored in his last 11 games but he peels off Aaron Wan-Bissaka to tap home a half volley following a cross from the right. Poor defending from United who are in real danger of losing in the semi-finals for the third time this season.

65min: Marcus Rashford is the latest Manchester United player booked, rather needlessly too as he sees yellow for bouncing the ball down in anger in a show of dissent after a throw in call goes against him.

Double Sevilla substitution

56min: Changes for Sevilla. Lucas Ocampos appears to have picked up a knock and he is replaced by  Munir El Haddadi while Luuk de Jong, once of Newcastle United, comes on for Youssef En-Nesyri

A better statistic for United is that, before tonight, their last eight goals had been scored in either the second half or extra time.

47min: Big chance already for Manchester United! Bruno Fernandes finds Mason Greenwood with a ball over the top, but despite an excellent first touch from the striker inside the box, his finish is blocked by the charging Yassine Bounou out his goal.

The penalty kick scored by Bruno Fernandes in the 9^th minute is Manchester United’s 22^nd in all competitions this season. No other club in the top five leagues in Europe has been so blessed.

The penalty kick was also Manchester United’s fifth in the Europa League this season.

The referee blows for half-time.

United started the better and rewarded with the early penalty from Fernandes but Sevilla took advantage of their best spell when levelling through Suso. Since then, it has been more even but fiercely competitive and you would be hard pressed to pick a winner as it stands.

It’s half time

45 mins: Rashford (Man. United) misses the target.

Fred and Williams work the ball out left where Rashford is in space. He cuts inside but shanks the shot harmlessly wide of the near post.

Pogba hasn’t been at his best so far, but the Frenchman did excellently to retrieve possession deep inside the United half before releasing Greenwood. Solskjær will hope there’s more to come from the midfielder in the second half.

38min: United now have a free-kick about 35 yards out following an Ever Banega foul. Marcus Rashford appears to be lining up a shot. Surely too far out?

GOAL! SEVILLA 1-1 Manchester United

26min: Slight controversy with this. United should have a throw in, but instead it goes to Sevilla who from the set-piece build an attack down the left with Sergio Reguilon crossing low for former Liverpool player Suso to divert home at the back post.

9min: I know Manchester United and constantly being awarded penalties has been a talking point thise season, but there was no debating the foul on Marcus Rashford and with a skip in his jump, Bruno Fernandes buries his spot-kick into the top corner.

9mins: PENALTY (Manchester United)

Marcus Rashford has a shot saved from point blank range by the keeper but he is brought down on the follow up by Diego Carlos.

Will another Manchester club crumble tonight after last nights flop by Manchester City? Manchester United would have learnt a lesson or two from their city rivals as they engage La Liga side, Sevilla in today’s Europa League semi-finals.

Manchester United will be hoping for their second final appearance in the Europa Cup after their success four years ago.

But their Spanish opponents however have an incredible history in the competition going on to become its five-time record winners since first lifting the trophy as recently as 2006.

The clubs have been paired together in UEFA competition once previously, Sevilla knocking United out of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 two seasons ago thanks to a 2-1 win at Old Trafford after a first-leg goalless draw in southern Spain.

Solskjær on his team’s fitness levels ahead of United’s 61st game of the campaign: “We’ve had many days to prepare so that means it’s also a good recovery and we should be physically fresh. Mentally, of course, you’re physically ready for a game in the semi-final. Everyone wants to play it.”
