United had just suffered a 0-7 defeat at the Double Red last weekend and Temhach was under pressure for this game. Their opponents, Real Betis, are in 5th place in La Liga and are not to be underestimated.

The two teams have not met before in European competition, with Real Betis winning 1-0 at home in a warm-up match during last year's World Cup, when United were without many of the internationals who played in the tournament. United lost 0-7 away to Liverpool in their last league game and manager Tenhah did not change his starting XI for this game, exactly as he did in the previous game, seemingly to let his players get their confidence back. Real Betis made four changes to their starting XI compared to their last league game, with 41 year and 8 month old captain Joaquín making his debut.

United dominated the field at the beginning of the game and launched a frenzied attack at home. Still Rashford, a blast from the box broke the deadlock on the field, but Betis equalised with a sweeping shot from the right by Ayoze, drawing 1-1 at half time. United were on fire in the second half, Anthony extended the score with a world-beater, but he also missed 2 single chances this time, with a poor shot, B Fee crossed the ball to build up the score and Verhulst added a shot in front of goal scored United's first home goal. In the end, United beat Betis 4-1, with a 3 goal advantage in hand and arguably half a foot in the last 8 of the UEFA Cup. A timely win was a great way to regroup and boost United's morale and lift them out of the gloom.manchester united trøje ronaldo
