Ever Banega: the 32-year-old 'wild child' who dictates in midfield, will be looking to sign of his career at Sevilla in style. Andy West has produced this piece about the Argentine

Sergio Reguilon: The Real Madrid spare part has been a real threat down the left for the Spanish side during his loan spell.

Lucas Ocampos: Another Argentine. This winger/forward has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, including the winner agaonst Wolves last week.

There was a time when Sevilla walked into the Europa League and came away with the trophy - 2014, 2015 and 2016.

And when they haven't been competing in the second tier competition they've been competing in the Champions League. In fact, they have only failed to qualify for European competition once in 15 seasons!!

Coach Julen Lopetegui, whose side edged out Wolves to get here, is aware his side face a stiff test in Cologne.

Here's Julen:

"This is the best United we have seen in the last few years.

"They've found their way and for that they're unbeaten since January in a league that's as competitive as the Premier League.

"We are up against a complete outfit who will make us play at our best. We like playing in these kind of important matches, of course. It's what we have worked and fought for all season."

I've never seen so much passion shown over the choice of a goalkeeper. Anyway, we're 17 minutes away from kick-off at the Stadion Koln.

Shane O'Neill: I prefer Romero, but the defence is the best we have available. The key is for Pogba to have a strong game and for Rashford to finally step up. We need to hope that Bruno still has some energy left in the tank

Andy Muzhy: Gutted for Romero! He has been excellent in the Europa League and deserves to start. I would pack my bags after tonight.

Max Chaytor: Sergio Romero linked with Leeds United? I’d go. Get regular game time under arguably one of Argentina’s greatest managers, still in the top flight. And it’s a massive middle finger to Man Utd and Solskjaer who haven’t shown him the respect he deserves

Mark from Abertillery: De Gea a big risk after being brilliant for years and a not too great defence. Hope we don’t get undone.

Harry Maguire tonight starts his 55th game in all competitions this season, the most by a United player in a season since Daley Blind and Chris Smalling started 55 in 2015-16 - while within Europe’s top five leagues in 2019-20, only Conor Coady (57 for Wolves) has started more.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is at Manchester United, so you judge him on trophies.

But let's not forget where United were when he was appointed manager. They have stuck with him through the toughest months of the season, when they didn't have an identity, and he's made one very, very good signing in Bruno Fernandes and it changed the dynamic of the team and brought out the best in the other players.

Will it be a failure if he doesn't get them to the final? I don't think it will be.

Jurgen Klopp was in that position where he couldn't win a final - look at what he's done now, and the experiences players and managers have to learn from. Solskjaer is a young manager and he has to learn from defeats and learn how to put it right.

He can put the [FA Cup] semi-final against Chelsea, which he got tactically wrong, behind him tonight and get them to the final.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on BT Sport explaining the decision to filed De Gea instead of Romero: "It was difficult when Sergio played well and never let us down or himself down. David looked really good in training. He also made a few saves against Sevilla in the last tie (in 2018). Sergio is disappointed but he's a tough professional."

On the tie: "If you go to the final you have to win. We have to win tonight. It's probably the toughest opponent since lockdown. I hope we prove to them we're they're toughest opponent since.

"They have good players, good recruitment and a style of play - aggressive, pressing."

Aditya Thakkar: De Gea starts! Nothing against him but its an absolute disgrace of a move by Ole towards Romero. Romero has always risen to the occasion & performed whenever called upon & has been nothing but dignified everytime he hasn't been picked, surprisingly for the cup matches

Richard: There's no justice. Romero deserves to play and he's the better goalkeeper at the moment. I don't often disagree with Ole but I do today.

Joe Wedgwood: No Matic and De Gea in for Romero? Another blunder today and Ole has to pull the plug on De Gea. And Fred over Matic? Madnes

• Manchester United have progressed to the final from each of their past four European semi-final appearances (2008, 2009 and 2011 Champions League and 2017 Europa League), winning the trophy on two of those four occasions.
• United and Sevilla's only two meetings were in the last 16 of the 2017-18 Champions League, with Sevilla winning 2-1 at Old Trafford in the second leg, after a goalless draw in the first leg.

• Sevilla have reached the Europa League semi-final on three previous occasions and gone on to win the tournament each time (2014, 2015, 2016). They have only been eliminated in one of their past 20 knockout ties in the competition, losing 6-5 on aggregate to Slavia Prague in the last 16 in 2018-19.
• Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won 49 of his 89 matches in charge of Manchester United. Victory in this game would see him become the third fastest manager to reach 50 wins in the club's history, after Ernest Mangnall (78) and Jose Mourinho (81).
• Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in more Europa League goals this season than any other player (11 for Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon combined). He has either scored (seven) or assisted (four) in seven of his nine appearances in the competition this campaign.

For any Man Utd fan still holding out hope for Jadon Sancho coming to the club this summer - he was on the scoresheet for Borussia Dortmund today.

English teenager Jude Bellingham - their £30m signing from Birmingham - was also on target with his first goal for the club as Dortmund thrashed Austria Wien 11-2 in a friendly.

Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire echoed the sentiments of his manager by stating that the club need to take that extra step.

"Getting to semi-finals isn't good enough for this club.

"It's been a promising year in the Premier League, we've finished third. Again, it's not something that this club wants to do, finish third, but at the start of the season from where we was last year, I'm sure a lot of people would have taken that.

"But for the future, that's not where we want to be. We want to be winning trophies, the Premier League and other cups."

It's fair to say we're getting a lot of reaction to David De Gea being chosen instead of Sergio Romero.

He scored the winner in the 1-0 battering of Copenhagen, and has made a massive impact for United since arriving in January. His name is, of course, Bruno Fernandes.

When asked about being compared to Eric Cantona, who also made a big impact when he joined the club from Leeds in the 1990s, Fernandes said:

"It is really good for people to be talking about those names but Cantona was amazing for this club.

"I need to do much, much better to be compared with him."

On David de Gea starting in place of Sergio Romero...

I'm really surprised by it.

I look at Romero and he's done an outstanding job when he's been called upon. His clean-sheet record is excellent.

It's a huge call by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and one that didn't come off for him in the FA Cup semi-final [against Chelsea].
