There were warning signs for Manchester United throughout their match against Sevilla in the Champions League last night.Thankfully for the Red Devils, Sevilla striker Luis Muriel, just as he was in the first leg, was wasteful in front of goal.The Colombian forward failed to make Eric Bailly pay for a misplaced pass and also dragged a shot wide of David de Gea’s goal.Then, in the 72nd minute and with the match finely poised, Sevilla boss Vincenzo Montella decided to take Muriel off, with Wissam Ben Yedder coming on in his place.It proved to be the substitute that changed the match, for Ben Yedder scored twice as the La Liga outfit stunned Man United with a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.Ben Yedder has already had success against English clubs in Europe this season - he scored three goals in two matches against Liverpool in the group stage.Mourinho had no counter to the Frenchman and he must now fall back on the FA Cup as United’s final opportunity to win silverware this season.As for Sevilla, the quarter-final of the Champions League awaits. It’s the first time since 1958 that they’ve reached the last eight of the competition.
