Manchester United boosted by Marcus Rashford return amid Sevilla clash
Jess Navas is seen carrying the Europa League trophy on the sliding doors at the end of the arrivals area at San Pablo Airport, serving as yet another visual cue that Sevilla stands out in this particular league. The good news is that on Wednesday night, after recovering from injuries, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Marcel Sabitzer, and Tyrell Malacia walked through them. Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, stated that "they are available because they came on the plane."
Although Ten Hag claimed Rashford had only practiced with his teammates once before the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinal on Thursday, with the score knotted at 2-2, Rashford's comeback is particularly vital. Tomorrow, I'll make a final decision when we train, Ten Hag stated. Anthony Martial will likely start in front of the defense in the stadium where he spent six months on loan, as Marcus Rashford, United's leading scorer with 28 goals and six goals in this competition, may have to sit on the bench.
Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martnez, and Bruno Fernandes are all out, while Christian Eriksen is available and in good shape after beginning at the weekend., The opportunity to compete in events like these, according to the Danish international, is a dream.
The midfielder who had a heart episode during Euro 2020 and is now back in action following an ankle injury that kept him out of action for more than two months said, "Looking back a year ago I was dreaming about being where I am today." "Playing football [at all] was a dream: work toward becoming your best self little by little. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit a year ago, and I'm still having a great time. We already have a trophy, so we'll shoot for two more; that should be entertaining.
In their last 17 games, United has not suffered a loss. Eriksen, Fernandes, and Casemiro have all teamed up in midfield during matches. Even though Fernandes will be out due to a suspension, Ten Hag emphasized the importance of the Dane's return for "his ability, his reading of the game, finding positions, his composure on the ball, and the final pass," while Eriksen claimed that Sabitzer's performances had demonstrated that United had the team to find solutions.
Eriksen remarked, "I didn't aware we had been that many without losing. "Because [Casemiro and Fernandes] are two excellent players, it is simple for me to fill in for them. This midfield is one of the best I have been part of it. We’re missing Bruno but when I was away someone had to pick up my duties and it will be the same tomorrow for Bruno. Everyone tries to do their job and fit in the best they can. [Sabitzer] came after I got injured so I have only played with him a few times. He has been unbelievable while I have been away.”
Eriksen responded, "I was shocked he didn't receive a yellow but at the time I didn't think it was so bad,' when asked about the challenge from Reading's Andy Carroll that forced him out of the game. I didn't worry about when I would return or worry about missing the rest of the season. I've been well cared after by the medical team, and I feel as though I never left.
"We let Sevilla back into the first game," Eriksen continued. "During the initial hour, we had good control. They have changed managers frequently, but they are now beginning to have success. They are in a secure position [in the league], ,they have talented players, and they are very direct, they have good players, and they are in good shape. We want to progress, we want to win the game and take it from there.”
Ten Hag was asked what his most crucial quality was as Old Trafford goalkeeper David de Gea was about to agree to a new contract. "Stopping goals," the coach declared. "That is a goalkeeper's primary responsibility. It can be done in a variety of ways. Every person has their own distinctive flair.At the highest level today, maintaining possession is also becoming more and more crucial since it allows you to take the initiative and makes it more difficult for opponents to push you and create opportunities. But in the end, it all comes down to preventing goals—stopping shots, crosses, and one-on-ones. Such is the traditional goalkeeper. He definitely is a keeper in every way.
