Madrid, March 17 (BNA): Manchester United qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League after beating Real Betis 1-0 in the second leg of the last 16.
Marcus Rashford delivered a clinical finish in the 56th minute, finding the bottom corner of the net with a low shot from outside the area to help United go 5-1 on aggregate in the second-tier European competition.
Rashford’s 27th goal of the season came after the forward missed several decent chances to put the visitors ahead at Benito Villamarín in Seville. The Associated Press said United won 4-1 in the first leg at Old Trafford last week.
After a 0-0 draw against Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday, manager Erik ten Hag made four changes to his starting line-up with right winger Facundo Pellestri making his first start for the club.
United withstood Betis’ early pressure with 41-year-old captain O’Quinn’s long shot hitting the post 11 minutes into the match. United won the Europa League in 2017.
