Rashford: Man Utd victory over Real Betis right way to bounce back

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford says the players are happy with their 4-1 Europa League win against Real Betis.

The round of 16 first-leg win arrives days after United's 7-0 thrashing at Liverpool.

Rashford said, "It is always important to win the next fixture after a loss it is the only way to bounce back and continue to the momentum we had before the game.

"We always try to start quick and a goal always helps that and I think they defended the box well in the first half but in the second half it opened up more as to be expected with the game at 1-1.

"We started well in both halves, and yeah it is important to try and score the goals and that is the difference.

"It is a step back in the right direction we have to build on it now again but we can't put too much emphasis on Sunday because it is gone and we can't change it so we have to keep moving forward."

On Wout Weghorst's first goal for United, Rashford added: "As a forward he gets joys from scoring goals and he works hard and does all the other stuff but he wants to score goals."
