“If Rashford plays, it’s because he’s ready” Sevilla boss reacts to Marcus Rashford’s return for Europa League tie
In his pre-game press conference, Sevilla manager Jose Luis Mendilibar stated, “Marcus Rashford is one of the best players right now, but we’re not going to change our mentality or idea if Rashford plays or not.”
“We must consider ourselves while also showing respect to the opposing team, but we do not need to consider specific players.
Rashford will only play if he is prepared. If not, a top player will take his place.
Despite previously winning the Europa League six times, Sevilla was completely outplayed in the quarterfinal match at Old Trafford, which ended 2-2.
Unfortunately, Manchester United scored two own goals, giving both teams a fresh start going into the rematch.
Whether or whether Mendilibar acknowledges it, Rashford’s return gives the Red Devils the push they require.
