Manchester United could face a daunting task in their upcoming Europa League match against Sevilla as they could be without five key players.
This news has left fans worried about their prospects for the rest of the season.
United’s first-leg quarter-final clash against Sevilla at Old Trafford looked to be in their control until the Spanish side made an unlikely comeback.
Two own goals from United resulted in a loss of their lead, with Harry Maguire scoring in his own net during stoppage time.

As the return leg in Spain approaches, the tie is now delicately poised. However, the potential absence of key players has left United fans concerned about their chances.
Bruno Fernandes, who has been a key player for United this season, is set to miss the match due to suspension. He was given a yellow card for a dubious handball call, ruling him out of the upcoming fixture.
The absence of Fernandes is a major blow to United, as his creative spark and goal-scoring ability have been instrumental to their success this season. The Red Devils will have to look to other players to step up and fill the void left by Fernandes.

In addition to Fernandes, United could also be without four other key players, leaving their prospects in the upcoming match uncertain.
United will need to regroup and come up with a game plan to overcome the potential absences and secure a place in the Europa League semi-finals.
Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, who both sat out of Thursday’s game, could also still be sidelined.

And Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, who both were forced off against Sevilla, appear unlikely to feature.
So, Erik ten Hag could be without Fernandes, Shaw, Rashford, Varane and Martinez for the second-leg at Sevilla.
Needless to say, Man United fans are worried about how the rest of the season is shaping up following the slew of injures.
