'They play very technical football': Berbatov possibly names United's toughest opponent in Europa League

"For some reason United find it difficult to play against Spanish teams. They play very technical football, and pass the ball around a lot. You can't let them set the tempo of the game if you want to succeed against them," Dimitar Berbatov has written in his Betfair column.

"Sevilla are a tough side and they have history, I remember two years ago when they knocked out United in the Champions League. Ultimately, it's good to play tough teams to test yourself and see where you are in your development as a team.

"At the end of the day, this is Manchester United, you respect every team but fear no one, other teams should fear United," the former United star concluded.

Sevilla are the only Spanish side left in the competition. If United beat Copenhagen and the Andalusians get past Wolverhampton, the Red Devils will take Sevilla on in the Europa League semifinals.

Sevilla won the UEFA Cup/Europa League in 2006, 2007, 2014, 2015 and 2016 and are the record holders in this respect.
