Just no passion or effort from the team. Took it too lightly and got punished when Yedder came in. Sevilla played like they wanted to win. Well organised. 

 

Embarrassing.  

 

Quote

Moyes’ United outperforms Mourinho’s United in the Champions League. Moyes still United’s best CL manager since Ferguson.
