Sevilla defender Kounde: We must stop Man Utd pair Pogba, Martial

Sevilla defender Jules Kounde admits they must be wary of Manchester United's French duo tonight.

Sevilla and United meet in the Europa League semifinal in Germany.

On Paul Pogba, Kounde told Marca: "He's an important player, a global name. He has lots of quality. He's one of the best central midfielders in the best and he's a key player for France, who he won the World Cup for as a starter. They have very strong individuals, but we're focused on the team and ourselves. We know what United represent across the world. They're a big name."

On Anthony Martial, he added: "I've seen him play many times. He's a very good, very complete striker - powerful, quick, skilful on the ball and I'm sure we're going to have to be very aware, like with Adama, although he's got another level of power. Diego [Carlos] and I will have to talk a lot. We can't give him space."
