Manchester United pair face suspension if booked in Europa League fixture vs Sevilla

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United pair Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro will be suspended for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla if they are booked in the opener on Thursday evening.

United host Sevilla at Old Trafford on Thursday evening as Erik ten Hag continues his fight for major silverware. The arrival of Sevilla will be the fourth of a Spanish side in the competition, following the group stage game against Real Sociedad and knockout meetings with Barcelona and Real Betis.

The La Liga table would suggest that Sevilla are the weakest of the four - they are 16th and have endured a torrid domestic campaign - but the Spanish side hold bags of European experience and will have this competition as their priority, with wins over Fenerbahce and PSV Eindhoven in previous rounds.
