Manchester United fans have voted for the man of the match in the 4-1 win over Real Betis.

Goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, and Wout Weghorst leave United with one foot in the Europa League quarter finals.

The second leg will be held in Spain in a 5.45pm kick-off next week.

This victory was an ideal way for United to bounce back from the weekend’s heavy loss, scoring four goals for just the second time this season.

Man of the match v Real Betis

Manchester United fans voted for the man of the match via a poll on the club website and app, and there was a clear winner.

After the heavy over the top criticism Bruno Fernandes received at the weekend, he was the one player Manchester United fans wanted to see respond well, more than most.

He certainly did, starring from the first kick-off, playing a part in Rashford’s opener. Fernandes provided the assist for Antony’s goal, and then scored United’s third, powering in a header from a Luke Shaw corner.

It was also his corner kick which began the move leading to United’s fourth.

Fernandes is now up to eight goals for the season, trailing only Rashford on 26.
