Sevilla will be the fourth Spanish opponent the Red Devils are facing in the secondary European competition this season after facing Real Sociedad in the group stages, Barcelona in the play-offs, and Real Betis in the Round of 16.
The two sides are not strangers to one another in European competitions, with Los Nervionenses edging the Red Devils 2-1 the last time they played in the Europa League semi-final in August 2020.
