Manchester United bounced back from a worst defeat by Liverpool to beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie.
United tallied their heaviest and worst ever defeat against liverpool since 1931 in losing 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday.
Erik ten Hag gave a boost up to fans and responded to the players to start with same line start thus giving the expected result.
Marcus Rashford had his first goal for United in an early lead with his 26th goal of the season, but Betis levelled the score against the run of play when Ayoze Perez fired into the far corner.
The visitors could even have gone in front before halftime when Perez’s deflected cross came back off the post.
Ayoze Perez’s strike cancelled out Marcus Rashford’s opener to leave the two teams level at the interval, but the Red Devils scored three more in the second period through Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst to claim a strong advantage ahead of the second leg in Seville next week
But it was two of United’s most fiercely criticised stars in recent days who made the difference after the break.
Antony curled a brilliant shot into the top corner before Bruno Fernandes, who Ten Hag named again as captain, headed in Luke Shaw’s corner.

Bravo then had to be quick off his line to prevent Rashford from having the chance to make it 2-0, with the former Manchester City goalkeeper just about doing enough to deny the in-form attacker.
Weghorst had another huge chance in the 27th minute when Antony picked out his teammate inside the box; he somehow missed the crossbar from close range, although the forward was in an offside position.
Bravo then kept out a curling effort from Rashford before Fernandes had one deflected wide of the post, with the 20-time English champions looking dangerous every time that they broke forward.
Casemiro was next to try his luck for the Red Devils, hooking over the crossbar from inside the box after Betis had failed to deal with a corner kick. The act of Real Betis fans gets arrested due to the violence has become
