After defeating Real Betis 1-0 at the Benito Villamarin Stadium on Thursday, Manchester United advanced to the quarterfinals of the Europa League. The Red Devils held a 4-1 advantage from the first leg, and Marcus Rashford’s goal in the second half gave Erik ten Hag’s team a 5-1 overall victory.

The home team had the better of the opening exchanges, and Juanmi missed a clear-cut opportunity to score after only eight minutes despite being clean through. In the opening moments, Joaquin then struck the post from a distance as United were furious.

As the half wore on, that subsided a little bit, but Betis still came close twice more, with one attempt being saved by David de Gea and the other being blocked by Harry Maguire. In the first half, United didn’t have many chances, but Fernandes had a shot fly over and another deflected wide.

Wout Weghorst was only a few inches away from the ball when he slipped in at the back post when Facundo Pellistri’s shot from inside the box struck the post in the closing seconds of a hectic first half.

But United came out strong in the second half, and Rashford missed his first two shots before scoring with a spectacular effort from outside the box that flew past Rui Silva.

Harry Maguire glanced a header wide from a corner as United continued to dominate. Jadon Sancho then missed a shot, and Marcel Sabitzer had a shot blocked after a flowing move. Wout Weghorst missed a second opportunity by firing straight at Silva.

Both goalkeepers had a calm game’s conclusion despite De Gea having to stop an Ayoze Perez header at the other end. These are our rankings of the United players.
