MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United bounced back from the horror show against Liverpool to take control of their Europa League tie with Real Betis by beating the Spanish club 4-1 on Thursday.
United won their last-16 first-leg fixture at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst and have one foot in the next round ahead of the return fixture in Seville next week. Real Betis were level at 1-1 at half-time after on-loan Leicester City forward Ayoze Perez equalised, but United scored three times in the second half to make some amends for the 7-0 defeat at Anfield last weekend.
