Manchester United 4-1 Real Betis: Erik ten Hag’s side take command in Europa League last-16 first-leg tie

Marcus Rashford scores

Manchester United took control of their last-16 Europa League tie against Real Betis with a commanding first-leg victory at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford’s thumping early strike put the hosts ahead and, while Ayoze Perez levelled for Betis, Erik ten Hag’s side created several excellent chances and were worthy winners.

Antony curled in a superb second to put United back in front, before Bruno Fernandes headed home Luke Shaw’s corner in front of the Stretford End to extend their lead.

Wout Weghorst’s late goal put the gloss on a performance that proved to be the perfect response to Sunday’s humbling 7-0 defeat at Anfield against Liverpool in the Premier League.

United travel to Seville for the second leg on Thursday, 16 March (17:45 GMT).
