Europa League draw: Man Utd play Sevilla as Juventus face Sporting

Manchester United will face Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, while Juventus will slug it out with Sporting Lisbon.

Erik ten Hag’s side have already beaten Barcelona and Real Betis in the Europa League knockout stages, but they will now face Sevilla, the third Spanish opponent in a row, next month (April) for the last-eight tie.

United could face the winner of Juventus’ tie with Sporting, the team who knocked out Premier League leaders Arsenal on Thursday night.

Jose Mourinho’s Roma will take on Feyenoord in a repeat of last year’s Europa Conference League final, while Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen will take on Union Saint-Gilloise, the sister club of Premier League side Brighton.

United will come up against the team known as Europa League experts, with Sevilla winning six editions of the tournament since 2006.

The most recent triumph from the Andalucian side came in 2020, which saw Sevilla beat United at the semi-final stage.

Man United are yet to win against Sevilla in European competition, drawing one and losing one in the Champions League last 16 in 2017-18 and losing in the Europa League semi-final in 2020.

Sevilla have progressed from six of their previous eight European knockout ties against English clubs, failing only against Leicester in the 2016-17 Champions League and West Ham in last season’s Europa League.
