Sevilla midfielder Jesus Navas using Prem experience facing Man Utd

Sevilla midfielder Jesus Navas will lean on his Premier League know-how facing Europa League opponents Manchester United.

Navas spent four years at Manchester City, facing their local rivals on eight occasions, winning three, losing three and drawing twice.

“I've played against them several times," said Navas. “I recall the passion surrounding the Manchester derby.

“I was lucky enough to appear in some really special games and those were great times. We know they're tough opponents and it'll be difficult.

“We're clear about what we have to do and are focused on what we have to do at every stage of the game. Let's hope we can go out and win the match.

“In terms of their individual players, they've got some quick players up top who are dangerous.

“We're focusing on ourselves and knowing what we have to do in each game – and, particularly, keeping calm when necessary and then attacking at pace.

“The important thing is that we go into Sunday's game with all the hope in the world of reaching the final. We'll be going all out to win."
