One of the highlights of the Europa League quarter-final between Manchester United and Sevilla is a replay of the semi-final three years ago in the same tournament.

Manchester United are 4th in the Premier League, the final place that secures a place in the next round of the Champions League, three points ahead of 5th-placed Tottenham with eight stages remaining in the domestic season (also one match less).

Erik ten Hag’s side have made it two league wins in a row, both at home: 1-0 at Brentford and 2-0 at Everton, who broke a disastrous run, 0-7 at Liverpool (d), 0-0 at Southampton and 0-2 at Newcastle (d).

To reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Manchester United finished 2nd in a group won by Real Sociedad and also included Sheriff Tiraspol and Omonia Nicosia (W5 L1). and then made it to the round of 16 against Barcelona. 2-2 away and 2-1 at home, and 4-1 at home and 1-0 away against Betis in the Round of 16.

Manchester United has the Europa League trophy, which it won in 2017, 2-0 in the final with Ajax in Stockholm, and once again reached the final act, in 2021, 1-1 after 90 and, respectively, 120 minutes, 10-11 after a penalty with Villarreal.

Sevilla sit 13th in La Liga, just five points above the relegation zone with ten rounds to go in the domestic season, and end up tied at home with Celta (they have won two, drawn and lost two) in the last five championship matches).

Jose Luis Mendilibar’s team (appointed on March 21, 2023, is the team’s third manager this season after Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli) qualified for this stage of the competition after finishing 3rd in their Champions League group and then progressing to the 1/8 in the final PSV Eindhoven, 3-0 at home and 0-2 away, and in the round of 16 Fenerbahce, 2-0 at home and 0-1 away.

Sevilla are the most successful team in the Europa League, with six trophies under their belt, the last of which was won in 2020, 3-2 in the final against Inter in Cologne.

The two teams have met three times in history (the Red Devils have never managed to beat the Andalusians), most recently in the Europa League semi-finals in the 2019-2020 season, when Sevilla beat Manchester United 2.-1 in Cologne (due to the pandemic, the eight-team final tournament was held in Germany).

The winner of the doubles match between Manchester United and Sevilla will play in the semi-finals of the competition against the winner of the quarter-finals, in which Juventus and Sporting will meet.
