United will play Sevilla in Spain on Thursday 20 April before returning to England ahead of their clash against Brighton.

Erik ten Hag ended the club's trophy drought at the first time of asking in the Carabao Cup in February and the FA Cup remains a realistic avenue for another piece of silverware this season, along with the Europa League.
