UEL: Man United cruise in Europa League
Real Betis 0 - 1 Manchester United (Aggregate 1 - 5)
After this clinical win, United will face another trip to Seville in the next round.
They cruised into the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a 5-1 aggregate 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.

Rashford shines again when it mattered
Rashford's impressive form continues. Since he returned from the World Cup, he has scored 19 goals in 24 appearances.
He is already in his most productive season in front of goal and remains the highest scorer in the Europa League with six goals from eight matches. This latest goal came from United's first shot on target.

Some reaction from across the internet
Chris Silvester commented on those highlights: "That was a phenomenal goal from Rashford. He hit it with such swerve the keeper had no chance. I think that goal had a bit of anger about it as well, as before that he had a couple of brilliant chances that he wasted, but again he showed his mentality to score an absolute screamer."
Alexander Clifford posted on Facebook: "Another trademark Goal for Rashford. Admittedly, given his ability, I hope he'd be thirsty to try for braces and hat tricks in games where he's capable of upsetting the defence."
Manuel, a Real Betis fan was at the match in Spain and gave his thoughts. He messaged us this on Facebook: "A great match to watch. Just a shame we couldn't do more from an attacking sense."
