Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is keen to take the positives from the performance against Sevilla rather than dwell on the disappointing result.
The Europa League quarter-final first leg started ideally for United as Marcel Sabitzer opened the scoring inside a quarter of an hour and matters got even better when the Bayern Munich loanee added a second seven minutes later.
A 2-0 lead rightly reflected the control exerted over their Spanish opponents at Old Trafford, which continued deep in the second half.
After that, as Ten Hag admits, there was a loss of focus, and mistakes followed in allowing the visitors back into the game through own goals from first Tyrell Malacia and then Harry Maguire in the second minute of stoppage time.
