MATCHDAY: Man United takes on Sevilla in Europa League semi

A look at Sunday's Europa League semifinal game between Manchester United and Sevilla:

STORYLINE

Manchester United must beat five-time Europa League winner Sevilla if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team is to reach the final of the competition. United needed extra time to beat Copenhagen 1-0 in the quarterfinals and move a step closer to a first trophy since Jose Mourinho's United squad won the Europa League in 2017. It's the third time this season United has reached the semifinals of a tournament but it's still searching for its first final after defeats in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. Sevilla is the most successful team in Europa League history and beat Wolverhampton 1-0 in the quarterfinals to preserve its record of never losing a Europa League game to an English club. The winner will play either Inter Milan or Shakhtar Donetsk in the final on Friday.
