After fighting back for a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Sevilla broke the deadlock early in the first half this time at home.
This was after Youssef En-Nesyri took advantage of a mistake from Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
Loic Bané doubled their lead in the 47th minute before En-Nesyri completed his brace in the 80th minute to put the game to bed.
