Man Utd scalp sought by Navas as Champions League gift to City

The Sevilla winger is set to face the Red Devils at the last-16 stage and is aware that victory would be welcomed by former employers in Manchester

As a former Manchester City player, Jesus Navas is looking forward to rekindling old rivalries with Manchester United in the Champions League.

The Spanish winger is back in his homeland with Sevilla, having returned to his roots for a second spell last summer.

Navas had previously spent four years at the Etihad Stadium, during which he regularly crossed paths with arch-rivals from Old Trafford.

The 32-year-old will be seeking a prized scalp once more when Sevilla face United in at the last-16 stage of the 2017-18 Champions League, and the World Cup winner is determined to give both current and former employers something to shout about.
