United believe they can win title: Young
MANCHESTER: Winning the Champions League this season is not beyond Manchester United but the Premier League club must take it one game at a time, wingback Ashley Young has said.
“Of course (we can win the Champions League),” Young told the British media. “You don’t enter a competition not to win it. That’s what we will be looking to do and take each game as it comes. The next one is against Sevilla. That’s a tough away game like Huddersfield, like Newcastle away. That’s what the stadium is like. We just have to concentrate on ourselves.”
Striker Romelu Lukaku scored both goals for United with Juan Mata and Alexis Sanchez bagging an assist each.
“When you have a striker scoring goals, it’s always important. His (Lukaku) hold-up play, his all-round game was fantastic at Huddersfield, and he’s done that all throughout the season,” Young said.
“He’s getting goals. When you’ve got someone who can hold up the ball like he can and get in the box it’s fantastic.
“And you can see the combinations between them. Alexis comes inside and Rom’s seen him and picked him up as well.” They finished second in Group E behind Liverpool
Sevilla’s fourth double header with an EPL side. They lost to City in 2015-16 group stages, were beaten by Leicester in the R16 last season and drew twice with Liverpool in the group. Winners of Group A ahead of Basel
three straight Europa Leagues between 2014 and 2016, but they have never gone past the round of 16 in the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho won seven and lost just once in eight meetings with Sevilla during his three years in charge of Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013.
