United at Risk of Losing Key Players for Semi-Finals: Two Walking Suspension Tightrope

As Manchester United gear up to face Sevilla in their Europa League quarter-final second leg, there are several key talking points to consider.

Firstly, there is the return of Marcus Rashford, who has resumed training but may not start in the match due to concerns about relapse after his recent injury layoff. Anthony Martial, who has been performing well in Rashford’s absence, is expected to retain his starting position, with Rashford available on the bench if needed.

In addition to Rashford, three other first-team players – Marcel Sabitzer, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia – are also back in training and could feature in the squad.

However, United will be without midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who is serving a suspension for the match after receiving a yellow card in the previous game. The team has several options to replace him, including Christian Eriksen, Sabitzer, Scott McTominay, Fred, Jadon Sancho, and Wout Weghorst.

Two players, Casemiro and Facundo Pellistri, are also at risk of suspension due to two yellow cards each. Another caution in this match would see them miss the first leg of a possible semi-final.

Finally, United must finish the job against Sevilla after failing to secure a comfortable scoreline in the first leg.

The late collapse in that match served as a wake-up call about complacency, and the team must be more focused in this crucial match.
