Sevilla must eliminate Alexis Sanchez's threat in Manchester United clash, insists manager Vincenzo Montella: 'Maybe we can kill him or knock him down or something!'

Vincenzo Montella believes Sevilla will have to ‘kill’ Alexis Sanchez to stop Manchester United’s danger man when the two clubs clash in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Sanchez will make his European debut for United after moving to Old Trafford last month, and Sevilla are well aware of his threat having lost all five games against Barcelona when he played in Spain.

Montella admitted that his players will do all they can to nullify that threat as they try to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
