'It's the truth, we have to do better!': Erik ten Hag insists his Man United players have to 'prove' they have 'the right to wear the shirt' after 3-0 loss to Sevilla... as Red Devils boss looks ahead to FA Cup semi-final clash with Brighton

Erik ten Hag has called on his players to 'prove' that they are worthy of playing for Manchester United after their 3-0 defeat to Sevilla.

The Red Devils crashed out of the Europa League in the quarter-finals after goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Loic Badé wrapped up the win for the Spanish side.

It meant that the La Liga outfit progressed 5-2 on aggregate and saw United's hopes of securing a European trophy in ten Hag's first year fade away.

It was a performance that unnerved many United fans, especially those who pointed blame at Harry Maguire and David de Gea for their roles in Sevilla's goals.
