Manchester United v Betis: Our prediction

United need a huge response after that Liverpool game but this will not be an easy night’s work against a technical, confident side.

There has to be tempo, togetherness and ruthlessness in this performance, and the crowd will also play their part in getting right behind the team.

United have an opportunity to put one foot in the last eight here, and we will go with a 3-1 win to continue this season’s strong home form.
