Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has sent a warning to his players after their disappointing showing in the UEFA Europa League this week.
The Red Devils crashed out of Europe after losing 3-0 to Sevilla in the second leg of their quarter-final at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
The Dutch tactician was quite disappointed with his players after the game but ahead of Sunday's FA Cup clash against Brighton and Hove Albion, Ten Hag says they are playing for their futures.

"You need to be prepared for the battle. We are always playing for our futures. You have to earn the right to wear the shirt. You have to prove yourself every game from the start," Ten Hag said, as per the Sun.
"It's great to be part of United, a global football club but the flipside is you have to prove yourself every game from the start.
"You have to step up and the good thing is Sunday is a great opportunity. This group of players has to prove it.
"We know we didn't meet the standards. The expectations on the team, the players and on the manager of United are higher. We have to do better on Sunday."
