Image: Man United receive shock, Besiktas have one player named in Team of the Week

The UEFA Europa League team of the week for the first round of quarter-final games sprung a few surprises.

Manchester United who held Anderlecht to a 1-1 away draw did not have a single player named in the team.

Two Anderlecht players, Mbodji and Dendoncker make the team for the Belgium giants.

Besiktas who succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Lyon in France had one representative in centre-back Marcelo.

The defender was described by UEFA as being a ‘menace up front’.

Marcelo: A menace up front, with two decent efforts on goal, he proved solid at the back as the Black Eagles contained Lyon for 80 minutes.

The Ligue 1 outfit meanwhile had two representatives in Tolisso and Morel.

Celta Vigo also had two players in the team following their 3-2 win over Genk, goalscorers Aspas and Guidetti.

The most heavily represented side was however, Ajax who beat Schalke 2-0. Klaassen, Van de Beek and Younes all made the team.
