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 as Sevilla reached the last eight.
After a 0-0 first leg tie, Wissam Ben Yedder came on as a substitute to break United hearts with a stellar brace, before Romelu Lukaku got one back.
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. Denied Yedder the hat-trick.
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 nothing pass in the first half, but made amends with a fabulous diving tackle to deny Correa going on goal. Did not mark the line for the second.

Chris Smalling: 5
Looked composed and made some fine looking interceptions and blocks. Like Bailly, was poor for the second goal.
Ashley Young: 4
Despite doing an able job at left back, his crosses down the flank let him down badly. Was sloppy in the second half.
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 and had it saved easily. Did not use his height to purpose and was substituted ahead of the hour mark.
