Marcus Rashford was on target again as Manchester United cruised into the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a clinical win at Real Betis.

After an open first half Rashford put United ahead in the 55th minute with a thunderous long-range effort dipping into the bottom corner.

The hosts had created plenty of chances before United opened the scoring as Betis' Joaquin saw his early curled effort hit the outside of the post.

Erik ten Hag's side had done the hard work in Manchester last week and advanced as 5-1 winners on aggregate.

The manager later said, "I am happy, we like challenges. This is a good team, we have seen it against Real Madrid and Barcelona. We beat them twice so I think we performed very well.

"I think we could have gone into the lead but some moments in rest defence and defence transition they could break. We had to avoid that keep more control on the ball, and use the overload in midfield.

"Second half we were much better on the ball, much more calm. we keep the ball in the opponent's half and let them run. And you see we created chanced.

"I think all the players did very well. Once again the players that came in did a good job and gave a good performance. So you can see we are not just 11 players we are a squad.

"For Facundo [Pellistri] it was great to come in, he had some good moments. He had a good performance in training but a game is different. At the start you have to come in but you saw after some minutes he got belief and he had some really good actions.

"In defence especially he did his job so I am really pleased with his performance.

"This time no red cards. And also no injuries. We have squad depth but not that big."
