Sevilla hero Bounou shifts focus to Manchester United game

Yassine Bounou has now turned his attention to Sunday’s Europa League semi-final encounter with Manchester United.

The 29-year-old who is on loan from Girona was one of his side’s heroes as they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at the MSV-Arena.

Bounou’s biggest moment was when he saved Raul Jimenez’s first-half penalty which proved decisive for the Spaniards before Lucas Ocampos headed home two minutes from full-time to guarantee victory.
