Manchester United cruised into the Europa League quarter-finals with a 5-1 aggregate win over Real Betis after Marcus Rashford's 27th goal of the season sealed a 1-0 victory in Spain
Rashford broke the deadlock just shy of the hour with a stunning strike from range to kill off the tie and end Betis' hopes of a miraculous comeback
 The Spanish side had looked the more dangerous up until that point
United failed to control the first half, allowing the game to become stretched which almost resulted in Betis taking an early lead through Juanmi only for the forward to miss the target when through on goal
 41-year-old Joaquin's deflected effort also hit the upright as United buckled under the early Betis pressure
But wastefulness from former Man City boss Manuel Pelligrini's side ensured United could weather the storm and progress after Rashford put a horrendous miss behind him to add the finishing touches to United's win as they march on in the Europa League in search of a second trophy this season
The draw for the Europa League quarter-finals takes place at 12pm UK time on Friday March 17 in Nyon, Switzerland at UEFA's headquarters
 The semi-final draw will also be made

United had a panicky start under intense pressure from Betis as they searched for an early goal to reduce the deficit on aggregate
 Juanmi was put through on goal for a glorious chance after eight minutes but sent his shot wide when he probably should have scored
De Gea, who struggled in possession, had to be alert as Joaquin's long-range effort struck the post and he was quick off his line to keep out Juanmi as United were caught out in behind again after half an hour
 Betis, fifth in LaLiga, had the visitors on the ropes for most of the half but were unable to take advantage
United, despite being second best in the first period, could have gone in 1-0 up at the break as Facundo Pellistri's strike hit the post and bounced out in stoppage time
 Striker Wout Weghorst was following in and had he connected with the ball would have given United the lead
Betis picked up where they left off but couldn't improve in front of goal
 United began to settle and nearly scored when Bruno Fernandes fed Rashford in the box, but the club's top scorer could not find a way past Betis goalkeeper Rui Silva from close-range
Rashford uncharacteristically spooned over when through on goal after a bobble took the ball away from him with only Silva to beat just two minutes later
 But he quickly brushed off the embarrassment to find the back of the net with a superb strike from range to break Betis' resolve
The Spanish side went flat after Rashford's goal extended United's aggregate lead to four goals, but there was enough time for Juanmi to waste another good chance in the closing stages
 United underperformed at the Benito Villamarin, but ultimately won the tie a week earlier at Old Trafford
 boss  told : "I am happy but we like challenges and we knew that Betis is a good team, we saw that against Real Madrid and Barcelona
 But we beat them twice so I think we performed very well
"I think we could have taken the lead but there were moments in rest defence and our defensive transition when they could break
 We had to avoid that and keep more control on the ball and use the overload in the midfield
 We didn't always do it
"Second half was much better but they also lost energy, especially after the first goal
 We were much better on the ball, much more calm, kept the ball in the opponent's half, made them run and then you see we created chances
"Asked about Pellistri's performance on his first start for United, he added: "All the players did very well, the players that come in can do a job and give good performances so we not only have 11 players, we have a squad
 For Facundo, it is great to come in, he had some good comments and performances in training but a game is different
"In the start he has to come in, but you saw after some minutes he got belief and had some really good actions, defending and doing his job
 So I am really pleased with his performance
"On coming out of the game unscathed in terms of losing anymore players, he said: "This time no red cards, no injuries
 In our squad we have depth, but not that big
"Man Utd captain Harry Maguire,whostarted against Betis after spending the last three games as a substitute, says "I'm doing my part on and off the field" despite reduced minutes under Erik ten Hag this season
He told : "It's been a good two games over the two legs
 Betis are a good team, they're fifth in LaLiga
 We knew it wouldn't be an easy draw
"They came at us and threw everything at us, but we expected a fast start from them
 We knew if we didn't concede in the first 20 minutes it would have been a big part of the game well done
"In the second half we controlled the game really well, we got the goal we deserved and after that we played well
"Asked about his reduced minutes this season, Maguire added: "Listen, I work hard at training and that's all you can do
 It's not been too long since my last game it was only a couple of weeks ago
 And I've started five or six games since the World Cup
"Obviously I want to play more and start more but I'm doing my part on and off the field
"I have an important role at this club and every day I try and make this club succeed whether I'm playing or not
