Manchester United will have to play like the Red Devils of old to get the Europa League final.
The Old Trafford giants are chasing their first piece of silverware since winning the 2017 edition and chants of Glory, Glory Man United were absent from the stands long before the coronavirus lockdown.
Ahead of Sunday’s 9pm semifinal in Cologne, Germany, Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui labelled them the biggest team in the world.
He said: “They’re the biggest team in the world but we’re going to be prepared for them.
“We’re focused on the next game, against a top, historic side, one of the best in the history of the sport who are in great form.”
A man who held the reins of 13-time Champions League winners Real Madrid, Lopetegui may just be smeering United’s bek vol heuning.
The current United side has failed to get past the semifinal stage twice – in the League and FA Cup – this season.
And United boss Solskjaer, who helped the club to their most glorious season with the 1999 treble, warned his manne that semis just don’t cut it for him.
He says: “We’ve had two semifinals before but we want to go to the next step
“Reaching semifinals is a good effort, decent, but it’s not good enough for Man United.
“The team has been developing and getting more and more hungry.
“And let’s make sure that hurt that we felt in the two other cups we went out of can maybe be the marginal difference, in that we want it more than them.”
