Manchester United XI vs Sevilla: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Europa League today

Confirmed team news with Man United strengthened in midfield for Sevilla’s visit
Matt Verri13 April 2023

Marcus Rashford misses Manchester United’s Europa League clash with Sevilla.

The England forward has been forced out of action for a couple of weeks in a major blow to the club. Casemiro, however, is available after suspension and starts in midfield.

He has not played since he was shown a straight red card against Southampton last month, his second sending off of the season and one that earned him a four-match ban.

That suspension has now been served, though it would not have applied in Europe anyway, and Casemiro comes straight back into the side at Old Trafford for the first leg of the quarter-final tie.

Ten Hag was given a further midfield boost in that Everton match as Christian Eriksen made his first appearance since January when coming off the bench, and the United boss has emphasised just how much he and Casemiro bring to the side.

“It is obvious and clear they are two very valuable players for us,” Ten Hag said.

“We all know how important the midfield department is. Over several games, we had to find a new balance and that is not easy at this stage of the season.”

He starts on the bench though, as he is eased back into action. Anthony Martial makes his first start for three months as a straight replacement for Rashford after coming on and scoring against Everton, with the Frenchman getting the nod over Wout Weghorst.

Casemiro’s availability sees Scott McTominay drop out, and Luke Shaw remains out with an injury picked up against Brentford. Tyrell Malacia starts again, while Aaron-Wan Bisska preferred to Diogo Dalot on the opposite side of defence.

Although Harry Maguire was given a rare start last time out, he returns to the bench and Raphael Varane comes in to partner Lisandro Martinez.

Man United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, Casemiro, Fernandes, Sabitzer, Antony, Sancho, Martial

Subs: Butland, Vitek, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Eriksen, Fred, Iqbal, Elanga, Pellistri, Weghorst.
