Damning angle proves Harry Maguire was at fault for Sevilla’s opening goal against Man United

Harry Maguire and David de Gea had a moment to forget during Manchester United’s Europa League clash against Sevilla.

With just seven minutes on the clock, the United goalkeeper played a risky pass to Maguire, who was on the edge of the penalty area.

The ball then fell perfectly into the path of striker Youssef En Nesyri, who cooly slotted the ball hard and low into the back of De Gea’s net.

At first, many fans blamed De Gea for playing the ball to Maguire in that position.

However, the replays showed that Maguire did in fact ask his goalkeeper to pass him the ball.

Fans were quick to react on social media.

One said: “For everyone that's blaming De Gea, Maguire asked for the ball.”

Another tweeted: “Don’t Blame De Gea. Harry Maguire asked for the ball under No Pressure.”

A third fan added: “Maguire asked for the ball, and when it was given, he didn't know what to do with it.”

Someone else wrote: “Maguire asked for the ball to pass it straight to them HE IS NOT SERIOUS.”

Whilst a fifth commented: “Wasn't De Gea's fault at all. Maguire asked for the ball, De Gea gave him a good ball.”

However, just two minutes into the second half, United’s task got a whole lot harder.

A corner swung in by Ivan Rakitic was flicked into the back of the net by Loic Bade.

Replays seemed to show that De Gea could have probably done a little more to prevent that from going into the back of the net.

United now have a huge mountain if they are to advance to the last four of the Europa League.
