One of the worst performances in a big game from Manchester Utd since, EVER. Beyond cowardly. Can't believe a bang average team like Seville dominated us over two games when you consider the amount of money we have spent on that team. Just lost for words at how bad that was. Jose is certainly not the answer and 100% will never win us major trophies, tonight confirmed that for me. If he can't rouse the troops for the biggest game of the season against a mediocre team, then he's a busted flush. Wrong team selection and abysmal tactics. Let's wait for all his excuses.
CL L Champions League Round of 16 2nd Leg

Give it to De Boer until the end of the season.
Kinda irrelevant really.

Since the last time we were in the knockout stage was 13/14
Didn't Mourinho say it just a few days ago himself? That he lets players figure out themselves what to do in attack?
Couldn't believe my ears when I heard it but there it is. We just go out and try to score somehow, no tactics, no nothing.
First time I'm saying that but I hope Mourinho goes sooner rather than later.

So much negetive tactics from Mourinho. In fact he does not have any tactics apart from park the bus and play long balls to Lukaku. Playing so defensive in first leg cost us the tie. So much questions for Mourinho.
Why no pressing at all?
Why have both Fellaini and Matic? Both are similar players and Fellaini offers nothing in attack.
How on earth does Sanchez keeps getting games? Since joining United his performances are not what we expected. Should have been substituted off.
Mata should have started the match. If not he should have been brought on early in second half.

They are in fifth place with a minus goal difference. Have conceded 42 goals. We should be beating them.
Why/How? The full backs would be told to stay deep and we have play makers already.
Indefensible and it's all Jose's fault. If he leaves at the end of this season I wouldn't be complaining.
Wind your neck in Ban. I know we, as fans, deserve better. He's the best keeper in the world playing behind that shite. He should be winning Champions Leagues etc.
In truth, we got exactly what we deserved. We played cowardly football over two legs. Away in Europe, I can certainly understand a cautious approach. At home, though, we simply must show more aggressiveness. Sevilla wasn't a pushover, but was a very beatable team. We made them look much more formidable than they actually are.
As usual, there's plenty of blame to go around. Mourinho got it wrong, but the players have also let him down. The level of performance was pathetic. That's not all on the Manager. As we've seen over the past few years, we simply have too many sub-par players. That's part of the reason why Jose is so cautious in his approach - in my opinion, he really doesn't trust the squad.

Looking at the attitude of some players tonight, I am beginning to wonder if they believe in Mourinho. It really looked as though most of them couldn't care less.
Even more worrying is that the worst offenders were Mourinho signings (Pogba and Sanchez).

Fellaini started because the manager is obsessed with him and is hoping that by playing him until the end of the season he will decide not to leave. Crazy to start an 'average' player who is returning from a significant injury layoff in such a crucial match. I expect we will see a lot more of Fellaini and we will probably suffer for it. Saying that Pogba is even worse at the moment and is so bad and lazy i can only assume he is trying to get himself sold or is completely unfit. I also see the plan B long ball tactic to Fellaini/Lukaku has made a return - surely we are better than that !
Can't even be bothered to be vexed. The team never gave us a reason to get fired up across 2 legs. Just coasted, sat back and played cautiously with very little desire to take the fight to them. No supporter wants to see us performing like this. Something has to change because it's not acceptable to deploy such tactics and come away with nothing to show.
I feel embarrassed for the club. If it was a back and forth game where we lost 4-3 over two legs I'd happily concede that the better team won. That's how it used to be under Fergie.
This meek surrender and playing to nick one on a counter or set piece is Tony Pulis level football. We're better than that.

And Mourinho just talked a load of bollocks after the match. Same attacking intensity as the first half with Liverpool? What? He’s going Van Gaal on us, if he calls Chris Smalling ‘Mike’ I’m giving up.
What is he saying?
Ridiculous is a kind word for those tactics brother. The sooner Fellaini and Mourinho feck out of this club, the better. If PSG do us the big favor I will be thrilled. Let his take this shite of a stick football and try to get the likes of Neymar and Mbappe play like us.
I would throw everything at Levy for Pochetino right now. The guy isn't a winner now, but with our finances and his ability to improve players and style of play I am sure we will see a much different United very soon. We have the players but not the coaching staff.
A Gooner friend of mine warned me when I said Mourinho is perhaps the right man to take us forward. He said that in the very short term you may be able to swallow how his teams perform, but the moment results start going south there will be no pillar behind which Mourinho will be able to hide. At least with Klopp you know his team plays attacking football. With us it's cowardice at its peak.
Honestly for the first time I'm wavering on Jose, his tactics in every big game we play is just wearing on me.
I'm lost as to why we almost always start on the back foot. It seems logical to me when at home to be agressive and set the tone of the match.
MUTV saying nobody will feel as bad as the players. Want to bet. I want to cry.
Did we bottle this?
His teams usually fall apart in his 3rd season. We are way ahead of schedule.
Anyone know what time Jose's post-match presser will begin?
He has lost it completely. Time for him to collect his P45. If anyone can post his comments here.
Isn't that guy a City fan and is taking the piss?
Easy when the team is steamrollering the league and you have two midfielders working behind you and two defensive full backs.
Plus his performances were ok to good, not phenomenal at Juve. YouTube skill shows deceive his overall contribution.
A disaster all over the show. Even if we secure 2nd and win the FA Cup this pathetic exit takes some of that shine away. Just a weak surrender. Lukaku was good and gave it his all but the rest were shambolic.
We still beat Liverpool on the Saturday, I'll take a shitty loss to Seville than from those scousers.
I'm not even angry.
Didn't expect any different type of performance to be honest.
Didn't expect to lose mind you but it's not at all surprising .
This performance and result has to be damaging for team and manager.
Something has to change .
Might have saved us a hiding in the next round

We can't seem to take a corner or a free kick to save our season. Pogba and Sanchez look lost. Sevilla ran us into the ground. Their passing and positioning were perfect. They pushed us, knocked us. Blocked nearly every shot. We were chasing them most of the second half. It didn't help that we missed a couple of sitters.
Uwe Boll would be a better manager than Jose Negative Mourinho. At least it would be less boring to watch.
Doubt it.
You have to be good enough to do that.
We were just beaten by a better side than us.
Absolutely devastated with the result. Really angry at the players, really angry at Mourinho.
We have shown to be a strong premier league side and Jose has shown a lot of nous in the last few games with his tactics and subs, but we were shown up this time. We literally couldn’t get near them when they had the ball. They were organised, structured and intelligent on the ball, we were slow, clumsy and easy to defend against.
The players have to take blame for the lethargy, but Jose’s defensive system hurt us too. Sevilla don’t have the quality of players but they are a much more accomplished team with a positive mindset, we are still individuals.
Best team won over both legs. Was desperate to play a real, Barca, Juve but not to be this year, maybe we’ll be better next year in this competition.

Disgraceful performance. I don’t know where do we go from here
Should be given the armband in my opinion.
This was like watching Chelsea lose to PSG all those years ago. Cowardly by United, led by the biggest coward of all, Mourinho.
obviously a pathetic approach from Mourinho
played ultra-negatively away
tried to play long ball at home
unforgivable from Mourinho in messing with players positions the way he did and lining a team up to play like that in a CL knock out tie
the players looked uneasy, nerves crept in and yes the players take some of the blame but the manager clearly hasn't set up the team to really take it to Sevilla in a decent footballing way
a fair result over the 2 legs realistically should have been 5-1 to Sevilla - In the closing stages Jose looked shocked and hurt - I hope he is...he should never approach a tie like that again
