Sevilla 0-0 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points

It will
It will be decided at Old Trafford

#4 Montella missed a trick by not playing Ben Yedder

Sevilla FC v Liverpool FC - UEFA Champions League
Sevilla could have really used Ben Yedder

Ben Yedder has scored 6 Champions League goals this season and yet his duty on the night was restricted to warming the bench as Muriel kept bottling it in front of goal.

"Benyebut" as he is called (which is the French word for 'goal'), the 27-year-old is responsible for 50% of Sevilla's goal in Europe's elite competition this season and it was disheartening to see him not been given a chance to flummox United's defensive line led by Chris Smalling who looked at sixes and sevens for major parts of the game.

In fact, it took Montella 83 minutes to make his first change of the night even though Sevilla's chances had dwindled to a trickle by then.

Muriel did force de Gea to a couple of saves but really should have done more with the chances that he got.

Los Blanquirrojos will definitely need to be sharper in front of goal when they travel to Manchester next month and the fans will be hoping that their main man up front will feature.
