Sevilla vs Man Utd LIVE: Champions League minute-by-minute updates
Jose Mourinho says he's not thinking about Champions League glory... yet.
"I normally say that Champions League dreams start around the quarter-finals and not yet," the Manchester United manager said.
"Now we are a long way away but when a team reaches the quarter-finals that's the moment where even teams that are not the favourites, which is our case, start realising anything is possible."
Sevilla coach Vincenzo Montella is excited about taking on the two-time Champions League winner.
Montella's European experience includes his Fiorentina side being knocked out in the Europa League semi-finals by Sevilla in 2015, while his only Champions League journey was ended in the last 16 by Shakhtar Donetsk in 2011 while in charge of AS Roma.
He spoke in exalted terms of the vastly more experienced 55-year-old Mourinho, who has overseen 139 games in the competition.
"I'm very excited to be facing Mourinho, he was a pioneer in football tactics and I studied him a lot when I was starting out as a coach," Montella said.
"He has a lot more games than me in the Champions League. Experience is very important, but so is enthusiasm and we will try and play with a lot of it tomorrow."
