Sevilla coach Jose Luis Mendilibar insists Marcus Rashford's absence will make little difference facing Manchester United tonight.
United host Sevilla in the first-leg of their Europa League quarterfinal, with Rashford missing due to injury.
But Mendilibar says: "No it's not changed anything.
"For the players that will play in our defence, if Rashford plays or another opponent plays it might be different for those defenders, but it won't be any different for us.
"We knew about the injury at the weekend but at no point have we adjusted the tactics or how we play because whether he plays or not they [Manchester United] have fantastic players.
"He has been playing as a lone forward but they have other forwards in that position. Whoever plays, we know that whoever comes in for Rashford will be just as good."
Mendilibar added: "[It is] my first game in the Europa League managing a team. I face up to it with an amazing willingness to play this game and compete in this game.
"The idea will always be to respect our opponents and try to win the game. I am convinced they will try and win this game too and our history, as Sevilla, is perhaps even bigger than theirs. We are going to focus on the game to compete and focus on winning it.
"We have to compete against them. We have to compete with the weapons we have. [They are] at such a high level, Manchester United, we know that. They have so many players and a big budget."
