In the closing six minutes of their match against Sevilla, Manchester United allowed two own goals and lost Lisandro Martinez to what seemed to be a catastrophic injury, endangering their chances of qualifying for the Europa League.

United looked to be coasting to a quarter-final first-leg victory at Old Trafford, but Sevilla came back into the contest and profited from a terrible ending to the game. Tyrell Malacia diverted the ball past David de Gea after Jesus Navas had pulled a low cross back from the goalline, and two minutes into injury time, Youssef En-Nesyri's off-target header struck Harry Maguire. The scoreline is bad enough as it leaves United facing a battle to secure the semi-final spot they seemed to have virtually sealed. However, the loss of Martinez is a major concern, particularly as Raphael Varane had to be replaced at half-time. United boss Erik ten Hag took off key man Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial after an hour, but the decision allowed Sevilla to gain some momentum.

The extent of Martinez's injury is of more concern, as the Argentine has been a rock at the heart of United's defence this season and, given the clear pain he was in, there must be huge uncertainty over United looked to be coasting to a quarter-final first-leg victory at Old Trafford, but Sevilla came back into the contest and profited from a terrible ending to the game.
