Manchester United crashed out of the Europa League as a pitiful 3-0 defeat at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium saw Sevilla book their place in the semi-finals with a crushing 5-2 aggregate victory
United threw away a two-goal lead in the first leg at Old Trafford with two own goals last week but stooped to new lows as Erik ten Hag's side imploded in Spain and saw their European hopes evaporate on a sorry night
Harry Maguire's early error, which presented Youssef En-Nesyri with Sevilla's seventh-minute opener, set the tone for the insipid performance, which only got worse seconds after the break when Loic Bade's header looped in off the bar, and was then compounded by David De Gea's howler gifting En-Nesyri his second
It was the latest in a series of demoralising defeats that have come to characterise Ten Hag's debut season, and the worse possible preparation for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Brighton at Wembley, where United's remaining hopes of winning a second trophy this season now rest
Sevilla's emphatic victory saw United bow out of Europe to Spanish opposition for the sixth successive season and sealed the six-time winners' progress through to a semi-final against Juventus, who beat Sporting 2-1 in their quarter-final
Having had a hand in both of Sevilla's goals in their first-leg comeback at Old Trafford, another self-inflicted wound saw United get off to a nightmare start at a deafening Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan
Captain Maguire was swarmed upon by Sevilla forwards after calling for a pass from goalkeeper De Gea and he was swiftly dispossessed as En-Nesyri raced into the area and clinically found the bottom corner to give the hosts the lead in the tie for the first time
Aaron Wan-Bissaka registered United's first - and only - attempt on target in the first half with a tame shot which proved no match for goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, and it wasn't long before Sevilla threatened again, with Lucas Ocampos close to bundling in a second from En-Nesyri's knockdown before De Gea scrambled clear
Sevilla were celebrating a second as the interval approached after Ocampos fired superbly into the top corner but United were reprieved by the tightest of VAR calls, with Marcos Acuna straying millimetres offside in the build-up
United brought on Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw at half-time but found themselves two goals behind within 76 seconds of the restart, as Bade's header from an Ivan Rakitic corner looped over De Gea and into the United net off the underside of the bar
United's response was desperate as it was non-existent, with the loss of Anthony Martial to injury further hampering hopes of an unlikely and undeserved comeback before they conspired to put themselves out of their own misery
De Gea's mindless mis-control outside his area put a second on a plate for En-Nesyri who curled into the open net from long range to confirm Sevilla's progress and a night to forget for United
 "It's clear when you make such mistakes it's very difficult to win a football match
 The fans can expect us to deal with it [the atmosphere], so I will not say that is an explanation for it [the defeat]
 We have to do better, that is the demand
"We were not composed; we were not calm
 We made bad decision; we lost battles, and they had more passion and desire and willingness
 Then it's difficult to win football games
 This is a problem; we cannot run away from it
"It's not about them [the absent players], it's about the players on the pitch, they have to perform
 I believe in them; I trust them and then they have to show
 But today, we were not good enough
"We were not ready for the game and that cannot be
 When you play for Manchester United you have to be ready for every game, especially on this great occasion in a quarter-final in Europe
 We have to blame ourselves
" "The first goal was after seven minutes, and it could have been two by then
 You're thinking this is a shaky start by Man Utd
"Players are missing but there's no excuse for the way they've performed tonight
 Sevilla totally dominated Man Utd in every department on the pitch
"Do you remember at the beginning of the season when they lost 4-0 at Brentford and Ten Hag gave them a running session because of the ground they hadn't covered in the match? That might be needed again
"They were second best
 In terms of attitude: No urgency
 They've been out-fought by Sevilla who clearly showed more desire
