Sevilla man who couldn't get game at Forest puts Man United on cusp of Europa League exit

The Red Devils found themselves 2-0 down at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium when Loic Bade headed home from a corner early in the second half, catching David de Gea out of position.

Eagle-eyed supporters will have noticed that Bade is a familiar face in the Premier League, having spent the first half of the season on loan with Nottingham Forest.

However, his time at the City Ground did not go to plan as he failed to make an appearance for Steve Cooper's side. Being an unused substitute on one occasion was as good as it got for him.

Since then, the Rennes defender has joined Sevilla on loan where he has already made 16 appearances, now scoring two in the process.

His header against United came at a costly moment with the effort putting Sevilla 4-2 up on aggregate, following Youssef En-Nesyri's early goal that came as a result of a mix-up between Harry Maguire and De Gea.

As a result of Bade's header, United now face an uphill task as they stare down the barrel of a Europa League exit in the quarter-finals.
