Manchester United 1-2 Sevilla: Player ratings

Manchester United crashed out of the UEFA Champions League with a 2-1 loss to Sevilla in the second leg at Old Trafford. A 0-0 scoreline in the first leg had made this tie a one to watch out for and it surely lived up to it's billing as United became the second big casualty of the competition after PSG.

Sevilla's super-sub Wissam Ben Yedder scored a brace in the final quarter of the game and guided his side to the final eight. Romelu Lukaku had the consolation goal to his name in the last few minutes of the game.

So, without further ado, let's take a deeper look at how each player fared in Sevilla's gigantic win over Manchester United:

Sevilla

Sergio Rico: 6/10

Rico made a couple of decent saves on the night and displayed strong hands. His distribution was satisfactory but he would feel hard done by conceding a late goal.

Gabriel Mercado: 6/10

He handled the threat of Alexis Sanchez brilliantly and also kept Lingard in check. Mercado never looked the second best against Sanchez or Lingard and held his nerve on the night.

Simon Kjaer: 7/10

Returning from a back injury, Kjaer showed great composure and was the best defender on the field. He made 6 clearances and 2 timely interceptions. The Dane rallied his troops and was the leader of the backline.

Clement Lenglet: 6/10

The youngster had the job of handling Romelu Lukaku on the night and for the majority of the game, he did his job with aplomb. He was up for the physical challenge against the Belgian and showed tremendous grit. Lenglet made 7 clearances and was neat with his passing.

Sergio Escudero: 6/10

The left-back did his primary job to the tee and then backed it up with some useful work in the other half of the field. Escudero won 9 duels on the night, won 3 tackles and also delivered 2 crosses into the box.

Steven N'Zonzi: 8/10

On his return to England, N'Zonzi bossed the midfield and made all the right noises for his side. He completed 90% of his passes and also helped out in defense with 3 clearances and by winning 7 aerial duels.

Ever Banega: 7/10

Sevilla's main man dominated the midfield with his brilliant passing and kept the play ticking for his side. A yellow card offense early in the game was the only blemish on his performance.

Pablo Sarabia: 6/10

Sarabia had a big role to play in the first goal and often found huge space on the right to get forward. He looked lively on the night and had 3 key passes to his name.

Franco Vazquez: 6/10

He linked up well with Luis Muriel up front but also showed great energy to track back and help out his team without the ball. In doing so, Franco's best work on the night came without the ball.

Joaquin Correa: 7/10

Correa was a constant threat for Sevilla on the night and made an assist for the second goal. His sharpness in the final third hurt United as he also attempted 6 shots on goal.

Luis Muriel: 6/10

Muriel engaged the center-backs in Sevilla's counter attacks and had them worried throughout his time on the field. Though the striker had seldom luck to get a shot, he often brought his teammates into play with some brilliant link-up play.

Substitutions

Wissam Ben Yedder: 9/10

If there was an award for an impact substitute, Ben Yedder would definitely win it with his last night's display. The striker was on the field for around 20 minutes and scored two goals which have dragged Sevilla into the final eight. In his short cameo, Ben Yedder had 3 shots on target and proved to be a nightmare for United.

Guido Pizzaro: 6/10

Pizzaro was brought to see out the game and he managed that without any fuss in the dying stages.

Johannes Geis: N/A

Geis was on the field for the stoppage time and did not do anything worth mentioning.

Manchester United

David De Gea: 5/10

The great wall of Manchester was breached twice on the night. De Gea had no chance for the first but should have done better for the second. He also made one fine one on one save late in the game.

Antonio Valencia: 6/10

Valencia looked comfortable in defending but hardly made any difference going forward. United missed his directness and his pace in the other half.

Eric Bailly: 5/10

The Ivorian made a series of blocks and interceptions in the first half but faded as the game went on. Bailly should have done better in the buildup to the first goal where he lost an aerial battle with Correa.

Chris Smalling: 5/10

Smalling made a strong start to the game but just as the entire United side, looked anxious in the final half hour. The center-back made unnecessary fouls, was loose in possession and also missed a couple of chances to score at the other end.

Ashley Young: 4/10

Young looked to be in a hangover after the high of a stunning outing against Liverpool. He was susceptible at the back and had no influence whatsoever going forward.

Nemanja Matic: 6/10

Matic did his job effectively that was asked of him but showed signs of fatigue in the final quarter of the match. He was defensively strong, made decent passes but lacked the cover provided by Scott Mctominay in recent weeks.

Marouane Fellaini: 5/10

A surprise starter, Fellaini looked sluggish with his passing but provided a decent physical outlet for his side. The Belgian also had a brilliant chance in the first half.

Jesse Lingard: 5/10

Lingard delivered a performance which showed great fight but lacked any real intent. He displayed tremendous work rate but lacked any output. Lingard drifted inside from the left but had little space to find an opening in the final third.

Marcus Rashford: 6/10

The youngster was the only United player that brought any urgency to their play. Rashford took on players at will but lacked the final touch to trouble Sevilla. His understanding with Lukaku also looked a bit off as the duo never seemed to be on the same page.

Alexis Sanchez: 3/10

Wasteful and zero creativity in the final third. This was Sanchez's performance summed up in a sentence as the Chilean was as ineffective as it gets. He was supposed to be the final piece of the jigsaw for United but proved to be a liability against Sevilla.

Romelu Lukaku: 7/10

Lukaku's hold up play was brilliant on the night but his first touch let him down at times. But he fought hard for the cause and was rewarded with a goal late in the game.

Substitutions

Paul Pogba: 5/10

Coming back from an injury, Pogba looked off the pace at times which was epitomized by his below-par passing. It was not a good return for the Frenchman who is running out of excuses for his average performances this season.

Juan Mata: 7/10

The Spaniard looked threatening in his short cameo and showed more creativity than the attacking quartet that started the game. Mourinho missed a big trick by not starting Mata.

Anthony Martial: 6/10

Martial used the flank to his advantage and dragged the Sevilla defenders out but ultimately had far less time to create the desired impact.
