Marcel Sabitzer notched two goals inside seven minutes against Sevilla on Thursday to hand Manchester United a commanding early lead.
United started quickly in their Europa League quarter-final first leg at Old Trafford, with Jadon Sancho putting the ball in the net inside 25 seconds, only to be ruled out for offside. But Erik ten Hag's side continued to apply pressure to a struggling Sevilla side, with Antony also firing a sharp shot on target not long after.
The Reds' early momentum paid off on 15 minutes when Bruno Fernandes arrowed an inch-perfect pass into the path of Sabitzer, the Austrian taking the ball in his stride and firing it past Yassine Bounou.
