'It would be nice for some of my friends in Manchester if we knock out United': Sevilla's Jesus Navas admits that Manchester City connection gives him additional incentive ahead of Champions League last-16 tie

Sevilla winger Jesus Navas has admitted that his Manchester City connections have provided him with an additional incentive to impress in his side's Champions League tie against Manchester United.

On Wednesday night Sevilla will host Jose Mourinho's side in the first leg of their last 16 encounter and Navas, who played 183 games for City before leaving last summer, is especially determined to knock United out of Europe's elite club competition.

'For us, it's all about getting through to the next round,' said Navas ahead of the Reds' visit on Wednesday for the first leg of their last-16 clash.
