Erik ten Hag outlines mood in Manchester United squad ahead of Sevilla second leg

Erik ten Hag says the mood in the Manchester United dressing room is 'fantastic' heading into their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Sevilla.

United are back in action against the La Liga side tonight following their dramatic 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in the first leg a week ago.

A brace from Marcel Sabitzer had given United a comfortable grip on the game but two late own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire gifted Sevilla a route back into the tie.

United will be eager to put things right this evening, and Ten Hag says his players are relishing the opportunity to make up for last week's collapse.

“Very good. They’re really looking forward [to it]. I think the spirit is fantastic," Ten Hag told club media ahead of the match. "We know why we are here. Last week, we drew so tomorrow we have to win, because we want to go a round further.

"We also said after that we had to look in the mirror, but also it was bad luck as well. In the end with 10 [men], we conceded the goal. It was, I think, a really unlucky goal. It was a deflected goal, but it is what it is. You can do nothing for it, the only thing you can change is the future. That’s tomorrow, so we have to be ready for that game.”
