Sevilla winger Jesus Navas: Man City pals want us to beat Man Utd

Sevilla winger Jesus Navas has fired a warning at Champions League opponents Manchester United.

The 32-year-old winger knows he will be celebrated by Manchester City fans once again if he can help slam the door shut on ­another trophy route for Jose Mourinho and United.

“For us, it's all about getting through to the next round," Navas told the Mirror.

“But I know it would be nice for some of the friends I've got back in Manchester if we did manage to pull it off and knock out United.

“If people underestimate us, they should look at what we're doing at the moment, our ­performances, the fact we've got to a final already and we're still in all of the competitions.

“We're a great side and we can achieve things.

“United were always our great rivals when I was at City, and we played some really important games against them.

“But now this is really important game for Sevilla, for the club, for our fans, and it would be great for us to make it to the quarter-finals.

“We know it's going to be a hard game, but we're doing well at the moment and we'll do everything in our power to go through against United."
