By Ian Whittell
Harry Maguire’s forgettable season with Manchester United took an additional, inadvertent, flip for the more serious on Thursday night time when he deflected in a 91st minute Sevilla equaliser that arms the Spanish facet an essential psychological edge of their Europa League quarter-final with Erik ten Hag’s facet.
It had appeared that two first half targets from Marcel Sabitzer would permit United to overlook concerning the absence of the injured Marcus Rashford, just for catastrophe to strike within the closing six minutes and in addition, doubtlessly, within the United therapy room.
On 84 minutes, Tyrell Malacia hopelessly misjudged a ball to Sevilla substitute Jesus Navas who was, due to this fact, allowed area and time to drill over a cross-shot which deflected off the defender and David de Gea and into the online.
Ten Hag might need already been questioning the knowledge of a triple substitution by the point Lucas Ocampos despatched over an excellent right-wing cross after 81 minutes and substitute Youssef En-Nesyri, who had been denied by de Gea moments earlier, rose to ship a header previous the keeper, by way of a deflection off Maguire.

The lack of Lisandro Martinez, who was carried off by two Sevilla gamers with what appeared a nasty ankle damage, compounded what might show to be a pricey night for ten Hag, already with out Rashford, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane, who had been changed at half-time.
Those accidents might additional hurt United’s probabilities of advancing to the semi-finals of the competitors and proceed an astonishing sequence that has seen their European curiosity ended by Spanish opposition in every of the previous 5 seasons.
Rashford, and his 28 targets, was presupposed to be the absence most keenly felt by ten Hag and United however, with Sabitzer stepping up in spectacular trend, this could have been a tie that was all however over by the interval.
Fifteen seconds had been performed when Antony slipped a cross via for Jadon Sancho who completed impressively however was clearly offside in so doing. Still, the comfort for having the trouble disallowed was a sign that the absence of their main scorer shouldn’t robotically spell famine in entrance of objective.
Story continues
Much was anticipated from oft-injured Anthony Martial, in fact, with ten Hag at pains to assert earlier than kick-off how a lot better his workforce appeared with the French striker in his beginning line-up and so it proved after 14 minutes when the Frenchman and Casemiro constructed up an assault earlier than Bruno Fernandes took over, enjoying via a cross which, this time, was completely judged.
Sabitzer, goal-side of the Sevilla defence made no mistake with an emphatic end from simply inside the world and nearly claimed an unlikely second objective moments later, lifting over a teasing cross which deceived Bono and drifted past the far put up.
The Austrian didn’t have lengthy to attend to really beat Bono once more, nevertheless, as United turned defence into assault for a devastating second objective, with nonetheless solely 21 minutes gone.
It got here from a Sevilla nook, cleared by Sancho who set Martial breaking upfield from deep inside the house half.

Ten Hag’s assertion that United seem a greater facet with Martial of their lineup was definitely evidenced on that event and his workforce, certainly, might sense an opportunity to kill the tie earlier than the return in Spain and Sevilla’s frustration and ill-discipline was spreading.
Former Tottenham striker Erik Lamela badly fouled Casemiro, with an obvious stamp, on 37 minutes and was extraordinarily lucky to outlive the Var examine for pink that adopted.
It was a part of an unsatisfactory finish to the primary half for United, though Antony curled a shot simply large from the sting of the world early after the restart to supply hope of additional success for the hosts in entrance of objective.
But Sevilla, with former Manchester City veteran Navas launched on the interval, began in additional formidable and dedicated trend, along with his early run and cross nearly met by Ocampos and representing what was, at that stage, a uncommon half-chance for the guests.
Despite their two-goal cushion, anxiousness was creeping into United’s play though Antony, on the finish of one other superb counter arrange by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, nearly eased these with an excellent effort which struck the cross-bar.
Ten Hag’s response was to make three substitutions to breathe renewed vitality into the efficiency and the under-appreciated Wout Weghorst nearly offered it on 65 minutes as he charged down a clearance from Bono and noticed the deflection fly large of the open web.
The Dutch striker made a meal of a superb opening after 81 minutes, ultimately passing again for Malacia whose shot was simply blocked, giving Sevilla but extra perception that there was a method again into the tie, notably with En-Nesyri inflicting Maguire issues within the air within the centre of defence.
In truth, seconds earlier than the equaliser, de Gea had been pressured to save lots of effectively from an En-Nesyri header, a feat he was unable to repeat when the Moroccan had one other alternative within the dying seconds.
