Sevilla 0-0 Manchester United: match report
David de Gea proved to be Manchester United's hero on Wednesay night in the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan when he made to excellent saves at the end of the first half to keep the score at 0-0, which is how it would stay for the rest of the game.
Jose Mourinho made headlines by dropping Paul Pogba to the bench but he had to call on the club's most expensive signing when Ander Herrera had to go off early in the first half. It scracely matter, however, as United seemed stuck in second gear and unable or unwilling to get out of it.
Steven N'Zonzi headed the ball towards goal and De Gea denied the French midfielder before Luis Muriel had the chance of a lifetime only to see the Spanish shotstopper denied him again and this time from point blank range.
It kept the score at 0-0 and the second half began with much of the same. Sevilla didn't come as close but they had a swath of half chances that they could not convert as United failed to score an away goal and failed to convince too but the second leg will surely be a different story when Sevilla travel to Old Trafford in three weeks time.
