Manchester United were dumped out of the Europa League by La Liga club, Sevilla after they scored three unreplied goals at the Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday night. 

The Spanish side opened the scoring as early as the 8th minute when Youssef En-Nesyri finished following an error from Red Devils captain, Harry Maguire.
