Manchester United were beaten 2-1 by Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals on Sunday. Bruno Fernandes’s early penalty was cancelled out by Suso’s strike for five-time winners Sevilla.
But United made and wasted almost all the big chances after the break as Bono produced a string of stunning saves until substitute Luuk De Jong turned home a Jesus Navas cross 12 minutes from time.
The defeat means United are now without a trophy in three seasons while Sevilla go on to face either Inter Milan or Shakhtar Donetsk in the final.
The loss was a reminder to United fans how far the team needs to go before it can challenge for top honours. However, it attracted mixed reactions from supporters.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Sevilla dumping Manchester United out from the Europa League.
