MANCHESTER UNITED DUMPED OUT OF EUROPA LEAGUE

Europa league fallout - Julien Lopetegui knocks out Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .



Former Real Madrid and Spain manager, Julien Lopetegui masterminded a 2-1 semi-final win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his United team.

Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes scored what has come to be known as a 'customary' penalty as Marcus Rashford was upended in the box by Diego Carlos in the 9th minute. 

Sevilla had other ideas as they drew level through former Liverpool winger Suso in the 26th minute.

Experienced Argentine campaigner Ever Banega and world-cup winning midfielder Paul Pogba slugged it out in the middle of the park with some crunchy tackles flying in once in a while. 

Brandon Williams, Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire and Mohammed El Haddadi all went into the books of the referee for various fouls.

In a game which was hotly contested, experience had a great part to play and Jesus Navas did not disappoint as one of his crosses resulted in the match winner.

Sevilla kingpin Lucas Ocampos was particularly wasteful on a couple of occasions and had to substituted for his profligacy.

The match winner was scored by Luuk de Jong in the 78th minute bringing Manchester United's run in 2019/20 the Europa League season to an end.
