"It's going to be a massive challenge" - United's Rashford on Betis clash

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is aware that the Red Devils have to perform very well in the match against Real Betis in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

The English striker was very disappointed with his team's result in the Premier League match against Liverpool and sees Thursday's game as redemption.

"It's obviously going to be a massive challenge. We expect them like most Spanish teams to be comfortable on the ball, comfortable in possession. They are going to bring the game to us and they have been in form at the moment in La Liga," he said.

"It's going to hopefully be an exciting game, but we need to do our best to put ourselves in a good position for the tie. Like I said to you, your next opportunity to almost redeem yourself as an individual and as a team is the next game.

"For me, whenever we do lose a game, you just want to be back out on the pitch as quickly as possible. We have to be grateful that we get the opportunity to redeem ourselves and we have to try to take that with both hands," Rashford concluded.
