​Matic insists Man Utd ready for Sevilla challenge

Manchester United central midfielder Nemanja Matic believes the club are 100 per cent prepared for their UEFA Champions League tie against Sevilla.

United face a tough first leg in Spain, followed by the return leg at home. Matic will be hoping his team can do enough away to set up a good tie for the home leg at Old Trafford.

"They are a very good team and especially at home, where they have great supporters who cheer them on for 90 minutes," Matic said.

"We expect they are going to be aggressive from the start. But we know what our jobs are, we know what our qualities are and we are going to be ready.

"We are very happy to be playing in the Champions League again.

"Sevilla are a great team and this is a great opportunity for us to compare with them, and everyone is very happy that we have a chance to play against them. We respect them a lot, we know they are a very good team and I sure on Wednesday it is going to be a good game for the supporters."
