Sevilla are recent serial winners of the Europa League, having won all of their six titles since 2006 and they defeated the Red Devils in the semi-finals on their way to winning it in 2020.

Their squad includes Brazil defender Alex Telles, who is on loan from United.

“Sevilla are very experienced in the Europa League and have won it so many times,” said United boss Ten Hag.

“We have to be aware of it.”

Ten Hag’s side, who won last month’s Carabao Cup, are also still in the FA Cup and host Fulham in the quarter-finals of that competition on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
