Erik ten Hag looked completely flabbergasted after Harry Maguire’s error gifted Sevilla a goal on April 20.
The Manchester United manager could barely hide his disappointment as the Spanish club scored the first goal to take control of the tie for the first time.
Maguire failed to control what looked like a simple pass from David De Gea just seven minutes into the game, which allowed former Tottenham man, Erik Lamela to pick the ball and feed Youssef En-Nesyri for the opener.

The Red Devils ended up crashing out of the competition 5-2 on aggregate, with their only chance of a second piece of silverware being the FA Cup, as reported on BBC.
Maguire, De Gea mess up
After the game, many fans were critical of two players: David De Gea and Harry Maguire. Some argued the pass from the keeper in the build-up to the first goal was once the defender should have never received, but others believe Maguire should have done much better.
For the first goal, Sevilla players wheeled away in celebration and cameras panned to Erik ten Hag, who tried his best to hide his bewilderment.
However, one could clearly see the disappointment on his face at Maguire’s costly mistake.

Legends of the game, such as Paul Scholes, did not hold back in criticising United, who were branded ‘terrible’ over the entire 90 minutes.
It remains to be seen whether Maguire will still be selected to start in the next game, which is the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The embattled defender has had to be brought in to replace Lisandro Martinez, who recently suffered a broken metatarsal that will likely keep him out for the remainder of the season.
