Real Betis vs Manchester United LIVE commentary: Maguire starts as the Red Devils look to seal a place in the Europa League last eight against old foe Pellegrini

Manchester United are in Spain tonight as they look to complete their Europa League last-16 clash against Real Betis.

The Red Devils beat the La Liga side 4-1 at Old Trafford, and barring a massive shock, Erik ten Hag’s men should be through to the quarter-finals.

The Red Devils have already won the Carabao Cup this season and will see the Europa League as another chance for silverware.

But their domestic form dipped slightly after a 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool and a goalless draw with Southampton.

Meanwhile, Manuel Pellegrini’s men need to close a three-goal deficit just to level with United, so a comeback seems unlikely.
