'The best team lost' - Maguire laments missed chances as Man Utd crash of out Europa League to Sevilla

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire said that "the best team lost" as the Red Devils bowed out of the Europa League 2-1 to Sevilla at the semi-final stage.

Despite taking an early lead via a Bruno Fernandes penalty, United couldn't hold on to their lead with Suso equalising before half-time and substitute Luuk de Jong striking 12 minutes from time.

The Premier League side controlled the match for long periods and could have taken a second-half lead on numerous occasions if it wasn't for the superb goalkeeping of stopper Yassine Bounou.
