90' +4
United have gone from dominating this game in the first half to clinging on now as Sevilla push for a winner. They've brought it upon themselves. Taking Fernandes and Antony off, the former with half an hour still to play, was questionable at best.
90' +2
H. Maguire is unfortunate, scores an own goal!

84'
T. Malacia is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-1 SEVILLA! Sevilla have a lifeline in this tie! It's a fortuitous one, as Navas' cutback deflects off Malacia and De Gea to rise into the net. That'll go down as a Malacia own-goal.
83'
United's corner doesn't amount to much as Casemiro heads high and wide. There's still time for another goal in this game somewhere.
81'

Bruno Fernandes gets yellow.
Fernandes becomes United's first booking of the game for blocking Gudelj's long-range shot with his back. The referee thinks it's handball. It shouldn't be a card, and Fernandes protests to no avail. He's right to be unhappy, as he'll now miss the second leg of this tie.

20'
Martinez intercepts Ocampos' cross to hand Sevilla a corner. Rakitic's delivery doesn't trouble United.

United get this quarter-final tie underway at a noisy Old Trafford!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this UEFA Europa League quarter-final first leg between Manchester United and Sevilla at Old Trafford.

Sevilla are the fourth Spanish side United have faced in the Europa League this season. While their current league form may mark them out as the worst of the four, the Andalusians have famous pedigree in this competition and have made it this far for a reason. United had better beware.
