On Thursday night, Manchester United defeated Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of the round of 16 Europa League match.

Even though United had defeated Barcelona in the previous round, they knew that all five of their previous European campaigns had ended at the hands of Spanish opponents. Erik ten Hag used the same same starting lineup as he did for Sunday’s 7-0 Premier League thumping at the hands of Liverpool.
Apart from recent past, the United boss received the answer he was looking for when Rashford was set up in the penalty area by Fernandes. The talented No. 10 cut to his right and fired a drive into the roof of Claudio Bravo’s net to open the score within of ten minutes.
Weghorst had two chances to extend United’s lead before the 20-minute mark, but both of his attempts were saved by Bravo. His second attempt, after a feed from Luke Shaw, went narrowly wide of the near post. Despite being in the lead, United tied the score at 1-1 in the 32nd minute when Ayoze Perez smashed a low drive from a distance narrowly beyond David De Gea’s outstretched arm.

The United goalkeeper was saved by the post as Perez’s deflected shot from a tight angle clattered off the frame and left the score equal at the interval after De Gea’s terrible ball out of the back gave Betis the opportunity to grab the lead just before the break. After charging out of the locker room, Ten Hag’s team swiftly increased their lead to 3-1 with goals from Antony and Fernandes in the space of six minutes.
Before the United captain scored his own goal with a clumsy header from Shaw’s whipped in corner, Fernandes found Antony on the right edge of the box and watched as his Brazilian teammate turned onto his signature left foot and curled an unstoppable stop shot past Bravo.
The fifth-placed Betis of Manuel Pellegrini had no answers as they attempted to get back into the match, and the task in the return leg was made more difficult when Bravo deflected Scott McTominay’s shot directly into Weghorst’s path for an uncomplicated close-range finish. On Sunday, Man United hosts Southampton in the Premier League, while Betis travels to Villarreal in LaLiga.
