Ten Hag explains United team to face Real Betis

The boss has opted for the same 11 players who started at Anfield, believing it is a side that can secure a positive result against our Spanish opponents in this evening's Round-of-16 encounter.

Raphael Varane continues to partner Lisandro Martinez at the back, with Fred alongside Casemiro in the middle of the park.
