Manchester United take on Sevilla in Europa League semi-finals and Ashley Cole believes the Spanish side are favorites in the tie. 

The Europa League is proving to be every bit as exciting as the Champions League. European big wigs are battling each other for honors in the second-tier continental club competition. 

Shakhtar Donetsk takes on the might of Inter Milan. In the other semi-final, a rejuvenated Manchester United fight it out with Europa League kings, Sevilla. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fancies United’s chances in the fixture. While Los Nervionenses cannot be discounted in the competition. 

Chelsea great, Ashley Cole believes both sides are evenly matched. However, the Spanish side are slight favorites not just for the fixture, but also the competition.

“Manchester United against Sevilla, I think that’s a very, very tough one,” Cole told Stadium Astro

“I’m going to say, flip of a coin, Sevilla will win the whole competition. I think they are the strongest, especially in this format.” 

“I enjoy the way they play, a very attacking team, great individual players. I think they are going to win the whole thing.”
