Rashford broke the deadlock just shy of the hour with a stunning strike from range to kill off the tie and end Betis' hopes of a miraculous comeback. The Spanish side had looked the more dangerous up until that point.

United failed to control the first half, allowing the game to become stretched which almost resulted in Betis taking an early lead through Juanmi only for the forward to miss the target when through on goal. 41-year-old Joaquin's deflected effort also hit the upright as United buckled under the early Betis pressure.
Manchester United is now through to the last eight of the Europa League for the third time in five seasons.
