Their recent home wins against Chelsea and Liverpool have all but cemented their Champions League spot for the next season.

Midfielder Paul Pogba remains a doubt, however, as United try to capitalise on the 0-0 draw in the first leg in Spain.

Carrick is set to join United's coaching staff in the summer. They also registered a comeback 3-2 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park after losing 0-2 early in the second half earlier this past week.

"Mourinho said Rashford is a key player at United and always "starts or is on the bench". With some improvement - United on offense, Liverpool on defense - they should be able to mount better title challenges next season.

Klopp bemoaned referee Craig Pawson's decision-making at Old Trafford but admitted their mistakes meant they can not complain too much about the full-time result.

Klopp was given a talking to by the official after leaving his technical area to berate centre-back Dejan Lovren in the latter stages of his side's 2-1 loss.

Manchester United were the big winners of the Premier League weekend as Marcus Rashford made the most of his first league start of the year by scoring twice to see off Liverpool 2-1. Since playing United three weeks ago, Sevilla have lost one and won two of their three league matches. The accusation was levelled after a 0-0 draw at Liverpool in October but, while the game was frustrating to watch and stalled momentum, a goalless draw at Anfield was a not a bad result.

With Pogba and Herrera doubtful, Mourinho has little options in the midfield.

"Normally he's an English player, you want him given time, he can make mistakes".

Only Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Edinson Cavani and Roberto Firmino have scored more times in the Champions League than Sevilla attacker Wissam Ben Yedder (six goals) this season.

"But the biggest problem at the moment to resolve has only one name and that name is Sevilla".

"The United player had time to get his arm out of the way and that was a clear spot kick for me, but Liverpool should not blame the referee for what was a disgusting defeat".

It has also been said that United are too cautious, that Mourinho is too keen to "park the bus". "You want to see this player every week". "Yes I will, of course I will, because it's getting hard", said Pardew.

"Liverpool have to take this defeat on the chin, dust themselves down and go again because they are more than good enough to secure a top four finish this season".

And yet their highest paid player, their marquee January signing, Alexis Sanchez still isn't contributing in the way many expected. United were not at their best offensively, but weathered the storm of a persistent Sevilla attack, who finished the game with 25 attempts on the United goal.
