Erik ten Hag has praised the way his Manchester United players bounced back from Sunday's 7-0 humiliation by Liverpool to beat Real Betis 4-1 i n the first leg of their Europa League clash.
The Red Devils welcomed Manuel Pellegrini's side to Old Trafford at the round-of-16 stage knowing that a positive performance was required to try and take the first step in putting the Anfield horror show behind them. Marcus Rashford put the hosts 1-0 up after just six minutes with a thunderous right-footed strike to mark his 26th of the season across all competitions.
However, Ayoze Perez, on loan at Betis from Leicester, bagged his first goal for the Spanish outfit on the stroke of half-time to level things up at the interval. United did not let the goal phase them and emerged from the break looking even sharper.
