Man United vs Real Betis

Colin - Good for Wout, but he's still not showing that he can be “that guy”. Wout Weghorst scored his first goal at Old Trafford on Thursday, ...

To make matters even more special that day, it was his official senior debut with United after being at the club since October 2020.Pellistri’s United career—consisting of two loan spells at Spanish side Alaves and a lack of game time for the English club—has always rather confused me given his talent and the fact that he regularly plays alongside the likes of Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez in attack for Uruguay since making his international debut in January 2022. It’s an exciting element to see in United’s attack that hasn’t consistently been seen with wingers like Antony and Jadon Sancho. If the price was right and he were willing to accept a role off the bench and in early cup games then perhaps he is an option, but his poor goal scoring production and poor shooting are really holding him back. Weghorst was brought in as an emergency signing, and with Anthony Martial’s injury he’s gotten quite a bit of playing time and performed well. His movement has been good, opening up space for the wingers to get into scoring positions, and Marcus Rashford in particular has benefitted from the Dutchman’s presence. Weghorst has been a constant in the team since his arrival, playing both a typical no.

CHRIS WHEELER: This has been a difficult week for Fernandes, arguably the toughest of his United career. Not only were United humiliated 7-0 by bitter ...

One of the many steps forward that Ten Hag has taken since his appointment last year was to identify the lack of leaders in the squad he inherited. But like so many great players, to take away the passion is to reduce the player. Some players are too emotional to carry a broader responsibility for the team, and Fernandes arguably falls into that category. Ten Hag will spend again this summer when Maguire is set to leave Old Trafford and United will need a permanent captain. So when United's No.8 powered in a header from Luke Shaw's corner in the second half - not the way we're used to seeing Fernandes scoring - the feeling of relief and release was understandable. Indeed, when Eric ten Hag turned up for his pre-match press conference on Wednesday, sources say the one message the United manager wanted to get across was his belief in Fernandes, and that was made quite clear to us at Carrington. 'It's his strength but when it's too much, it becomes a weakness.' Wise words. The ritual is actually a tribute to his young daughter Matilde. Fernandes' raised eyebrows as Solskjaer broke the news during a press conference via Zoom from Parc des Princes that day said it all. [he was the best player by some distance](/sport/football/article-11842235/Ten-Hag-admits-grateful-Man-Uniteds-win-Real-Betis-7-0-disaster-Anfield.html). There was a genuine outpouring of love and support, which was equally understandable. It's a celebration we have seen many times before from the [Manchester United](/sport/teampages/manchester-united.html) star, but this time it had more feeling.

Man United beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

In total, United have netted 41 goals in their last 15 Old Trafford outings. They won 1-0 that day, courtesy of a brilliant first-half header from Rashford. It means United will head into next Thursday's second leg in Spain in a commanding position, though manager Erik ten Hag is unlikely to leave anything to chance. Fernandes, who was heavily criticised for his performance at Anfield, then got in on the act himself, extending United's lead with a powerful header just six minutes later. It is a feat that they had not previously achieved since October 2000, highlighting just how big an achievement it is. Despite suffering that setback, United responded brilliantly after the interval, reclaiming the lead just seven minutes into the second half.

United have been long-time admirers of Jude Bellingham and could reignite their interest in Frenkie de Jong despite the Dutchmen's preference to stay at Barcelona.
