Marcus Rashford scores incredible Man United opener against Real Betis, there is no stopping him in this form
Marcus Rashford fired Manchester United into the lead against Real Betis with a sublime 25-yard strike in their second-leg last-16 Europa League tie on Thursday.
The Red Devils travelled to the Benito Villamarin in Spain with a comfortable 4-1 aggregate lead after their thumping of Betis last week at Old Trafford.
Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst all scored in the first leg, with United eyeing up a spot in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Erik ten Hag’s men made their breakthrough against Betis in the second leg after Rashford produced a stunning long-range effort in the second half.

Rashford, who has been in sensational form since the end of the 2022 World Cup, received the ball from United teammate Casemiro before unleashing a powerful shot from distance.
Betis shot-stopper Rui Silva was left helpless as Rashford’s effort swerved past him and landed in the corner of the net.
“The end-of-season comp for Rashford is going to be an all-timer,” one Twitter user said.
Someone else added: “They will soon be comparing this Rashford to [Kylian] Mbappe and [Erling] Haaland, just wait till next season.”
“Absolutely magnificent Marcus Rashford,” a third wrote.
Another commented: “Rashford can’t be and won’t be stopped. Proving a lot of the doubters wrong. Including myself. Complete contrast to last season.”
While one Twitter user posted: “Words can’t describe Marcus Rashford at this point, you just need to be happy as a Manchester United fan.”
A sixth fan tweeted: “There are few people who can hit a ball like Rashford.”
