Muriel was denied by a spectacular De Gea save on the stroke of half-time, as he headed Sevilla's best chance too close to the United stopper.
Romelu Lukaku blazed over at the other end and Marcus Rashford came close late on, but overall United played it tight and cautious.
Mourinho left Paul Pogba on the bench amid reports he's fallen out with his star asset but had to bring him on for Ander Herrera in the 18th minute and play him alongside young Scott McTominlay.
"[McTominay] was fantastic. He did everything well. He put pressure on Ever Banega and stopped him playing, he's their playmaker," said Mou.
