Man Utd went into the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie against Real Betis with the same line-up as the one that lost 0-7 to Liverpool last weekend. Playing at home against a lowly opponent, the Red Devils' performance was clearly better.
Man Utd 4-1 Real Betis
Man Utd started the match well when Marcus Rashford opened the scoring after 6 minutes. The early goal helped the home team to relieve the psychological burden and play with great confidence. Coach Erik ten Hag's students dominated their opponents and created several more chances in the first half.
However, while playing well, Man Utd conceded a goal. Ayoze Perez equalized for Real Betis. This made the home team a bit confused and made a mistake that almost conceded another goal at the end of the first half.

Man Utd beat Real Betis.
