Despite coming in off the back of a record defeat at Anfield Erik Ten Hag’s side come into the tie as firm favourites to progress into the next round, but if Manchester United carry the baggage of the weekend defeat into the game at Old Trafford it could end up being an uphill battle next week in Spain.

Real Betis sit fifth in La Liga, and come into the game at Old Trafford following an impressive draw against Champions League holders Real Madrid, and with three wins on the bounce prior to that result the Spanish side will be high on confidence heading into proceedings.

Real Betis certainly have the players to hurt United even without the injured Nabil Fekir, here’s who you should look out for.
