Sevilla
Sevilla will hope to assault before their rambunctious home help in the main leg, given their current poor away frame in Europe and frequently fragile resistance. All things considered, triumph at Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-last showed they will make a beeline for Manchester one month from now with some conviction they can save the attach should they neglect to set up favorable position on home soil. Essential to Sevilla’s odds of accomplishment will keep United’s forward line under control to stop that immeasurably imperative away objective. Sevilla have yielded 50 objectives in 32 La Liga and Champions League coordinates this season, while Real Madrid, Real Betis and Eibar have all hit five against them lately.

French protector Clement Lenglet has said his partners “should be creatures” in their mission to conquer United, who will hope to abuse an absence of pace at the back. Lenglet has just pulled in the consideration of United, however Gabriel Mercado and Sergio Escudero represent a huge extent of the vulnerability that invades the cautious unit while goalkeeper Sergio Rico does not have a telling nearness regardless of his great shot-halting capacity. Jesus Navas has been changed over into an assaulting full-back, incompletely because of the type of Pablo Sarabia in his more characteristic conservative position. On the other flank, Joaquin Correa is another hazardous alternative, however should the Argentine neglect to defeat a hamstring objection, previous Manchester City forward Nolito and Luis Muriel will go after a place behind Wissam Ben Yedder in assault.

Manchester United
Mourinho’s most quick concern is choosing a cautious organization before goalkeeper David de Gea given the nonattendance of Rojo and Jones through damage. Chris Smalling inspired amid the win at Huddersfield, and Eric Bailly should have his spot close by him in spite of simply returning from three and a half months out with a lower leg issue. Bailly has a lot of experience playing in Spain having spoken to Espanyol and Villarreal, while Victor Lindelof remains unfancied following a speculative begin to life in Manchester. Finishing the backline will be commander Antonio Valencia on the right, while Luke Shaw could be given the left-sided compartment set up of Ashley Young. Are Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney appropriate about Paul Pogba’s best position? It is further forward where Mourinho will confront a more noteworthy problem, both regarding work force and development. The Portuguese has become worn out on the level headed discussion encompassing Paul Pogba – focusing on that the Frenchman’s best position is on the left of a three-man midfield, where he contended he played amid the current 1-0 overcome by Newcastle. The issue, he asserts, was that Pogba performed seriously as opposed to any issues in the group’s strategic setup. Be that as it may, the threatening Pizjuan and the measure of the event should help sweat out a waiting sickness experienced by the player, and having seen his season slow down as of late, the arrival of the Champions League is the ideal stage on which Pogba can help spectators to remember his splendor.

In Seville, against a side who have persevered through their very own turbulent period, Mourinho may oppose approaching Pogba to have nearby Nemanja Matic as impact of a two-man midfield and give an extra body in Ander Herrera. The Spaniard has been nursing a thigh issue, yet he is relied upon to be fit so as to furnish the agree with more prominent insurance, while arranging for Pogba. Should Herrera neglect to beat his damage, holding this 4-3-3 arrangement with Michael Carrick as opposed to a more hostile player could be an alternative given the idea of the two-legged tie against a side whose assault is their best type of resistance. With Alexis Sanchez qualified to play having just highlighted in the Europa League at Arsenal, the Chilean could be requested to substitute wings with Anthony Martial, who appreciated a lot of achievement cutting in from the left – Sanchez’s favored position. Romelu Lukaku drives the line having scored four Champions League objectives as of now this season, and the Belgian will be resolved to shake off his tag as a ‘level track spook’ in the knockout rounds having battled against the ebb and flow top six adversaries in the Premier League.

Manchester United (4-3-3): De Gea; Shaw, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling; Matic, Herrera, Pogba; Martial, Sanchez, Lukaku.
