have made it into the quarter-finals. Erik ten Hag’s side beat Real Betis in Seville to ensure they made the final eight and, with Arsenal going out, they now look like one of the favouites. The Europa League quarter-finals will feature an open draw, meaning any team can face anyone without restrictions on their nation or group-stage opponents. Real Sociedad edged United in their group but the Spaniards were knocked out against Jose Mourinho’s in their second leg this week. Of all the ties awaiting ten Hag’s side, that looks the most dripping with narrative.

Europa League veterans Sevilla overcame Fenerbahce while lost to Sporting CP on penalties after a dramatic draw at the Emirates Stadium. SPONSORED The quarter-final ties will be held on April 13 and 20.
