MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes struck as Manchester United beat Real Betis 4-1 and began the healing process after Sunday’s humiliating 7-0 rout by Liverpool. Erik ten Hag’s players delivered a rousing response to the defeat at Anfield. The Europa League quarterfinals are now within reach after a commanding round-of-16 first-leg win. Antony and Wout Weghorst were also on target at Old Trafford. Ayoze Perez scored for Betis. United could have taken an even more commanding lead into next week’s second leg after Weghorst, Rashford and Antony all failed to capitalize on further openings.
