Player Ratings: Manchester United 1-2 Sevilla

Manchester United hosted Spanish side Sevilla in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 encounter at Old Trafford. The match ended 1-2 in favour of the away side, which sealed its place in the last eight.

After a 0-0 result in the first leg tie, Wissam Ben Yedder came on as a substitute to break the United hearts with a stellar brace in the return leg, before Romelu Lukaku bagged one consolation goal towards the end.

Here’s how Jose Mourinho’s men fared during the encounter against Sevilla:

David de Gea: 5
The first goal that was conceded had De Gea helpless. The second was saved, but it still creeped in. Did manage to deny Yedder the hat-trick with a one-on-one save.

Antonio Valencia: 4
After a decent first half, was culpable for Sevilla’s goal after losing possession.

Eric Bailly: 4
Almost gave away a chance to Sevilla after a poor pass in the first half, but made amends with a fabulous diving tackle to deny Correa going on goal later in the game. Did not mark the line for the second goal.

Chris Smalling: 5
Looked composed and made some fine looking interceptions and blocks. Like Bailly, was poor for the second goal.

Nemanja Matic: 5
Had to cope with a lot of defensive duties as well. Looked composed and stable on the ball.

Marouane Fellaini: 4
Went for a shot from a close angle, which was saved easily. Did not use his height to purpose and was substituted ahead of the hour mark.
