Jose Mourinho’s men were dismal as Manchester United were dumped out of the Champions League by Sevilla, currently the fifth best team in Spain, 2-1 on aggregate. Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice and United had no answer to it, despite Romelu Lukaku pulling one back for the team.
The defeat against Sevilla has been described as one of the worst nights in European history for Manchester United. The Red Devils could have few complaints about their exit, given a shambolic display that even surprised the visitors, who feared their best chance of reaching the quarterfinals had passed after a goalless first leg in Spain.
The final whistle at Old Trafford brought boos but Mourinho said United’s Champions League exit is “nothing new” for the club.
“I’ve sat in this chair twice before in the Champions League, and I knock Man Utd out at home twice, with Porto – Man Utd out, and with Real Madrid – Man Utd out. So this is nothing new for this football club,” Mourinho told Sky Sports after the game.
“I don’t want to make a drama out of it, we don’t have time for that. We have a match on Saturday, we have no time to be sad for more than 24 hours. And that’s football, it’s not the end of the world.
“I don’t have regrets. I did my best, the players did their best, we tried, we lost, and that’s football.”
And of course, United’s elimination from the Champions League was all that Liverpool fans needed following our 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.
This is how the Liverpool fans reacted on Twitter after United were dumped out of the Champions League by Sevilla.
Liverpool are in the last 8 and united are not just facts bro.

Man purposely got himself pocketed by Ashley Young to bait him into putting that shite Instagram story, just so he could come out with this once United went out.
