United knocked out in their third semi-final of the season; Sevilla will face either Inter Milan or Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League final on August 21
Manchester United will be left to rue a string of missed chances as they were beaten 2-1 by Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were hoping it would be third time lucky in a semi-final after being knocked out in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last four earlier this season, but a lack of cutting edge and defensive errors cost them once again.
They made the ideal start though when Bruno Fernandes (9) converted from the spot after Marcus Rashford was fouled by Diego Carlos. But former Liverpool winger Suso (27) levelled things up with a tap-in during an entertaining first half.
United had a string of chances after the break to re-take the lead - Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial, Fernandes and Rashford all going close - but paid for these misses when Luuk de Jong (78) tapped home late on after some poor defending from Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Five-time Europa League winners Sevilla will face either Inter Milan or Shakhtar Donetsk in Friday's final in Cologne while Manchester United once again fall just short.
It was a strong start from United as they looked to produce a better performance than their edgy quarter-final win against FC Copenhagen and were awarded a penalty inside seven minutes.
It was a superb bit of play too as a cheeky heeled pass from Martial picked out Rashford down the left of the area, with the latter's shot saved well by Yassine Bounou. However, just after the ball left his foot, Rashford was chopped down by Carlos, sending him sliding off the field in some real pain. แบล็คแจ็ค
