Ten Hag pleased for Man Utd goalscorers after victory over Real Betis

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was pleased after their 4-1 Europa League victory against Real Betis at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst were all on the scoresheet as United put themselves in a strong position to reach the last eight when the tie is decided in Seville next week.

Ten Hag said, "I think we played a very good game in both halves. At half-time we should have been up 3-0 but we make one mistake it is 1-1.

"We scored some good goals, we gave the fans something to support and they gave it back so we are very grateful.

"It was a great attitude, we were good on the ball, made good switches and runs in behind and created a lot of chances.

"It is always good to see how the team reacts after a set-back. This is not the first time this season we can reset and bounce back. This team has character, so big compliment to the team."

On Weghorst and Fernandes, he added: "For a striker [Wout Weghorst] was so close so many times. He has already created chances and goals for others and he deserved his goal.

"Bruno [Fernandes] was fantastic. He led the team with his control of the game and passing and then he scored a goal."
