Marcus Rashford chests the ball into the Betis keeper's grasp but he looks well offside from the cross. The flag confirms it.

Better possession from Manchester United. They look at lot more controlled and the runs from Marcus Rashford and Facund Pellistri have been better timed to push the Betis full-backs back.

United haven't really threatened yet but Bruno Fernandes tries to change that. He shoots from way out but sends the effort off target.

Sushant Shetty: Think Erik ten Hag made a mistake by playing Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro on yellow cards they seem reluctant to tackle and that's given Betis so many chances.

There's a stoppage in play as Abner drops to the turf. He's soon helped back up but has a big grimace on his face.

He's going to try to carry on.

Aitor Ruibal wins a header in the United half and almost sends Ayoze Perez in. The ball just evades the on-loan Leicester man.

Ayoze Perez is nearly in again as a long ball forward floats over a defender and into his path. It just skips away from him, though, and David de Gea clears.

Manchester United are rocking and Joaquin is the orchestrator of all of this. He is 41 years old, but he is playing like he is 21.

He is absolutely loving this.

United's ship needs steadying here.

Here they come again...

Joaquin charges forward and tries to find a team-mate in the box. The United defence ae scrambling and concede a corner.

David de Gea helps out by charging out to snatch the resulting delivery out of the air.

It is end to end stuff, and it is exactly what Manchester United did not want.

It smacks off the outside of the post and if Casemiro doesn't get a block that is flying in.

Betis are quicker to the ball at the moment. They are smelling blood.

Tense times for Man Utd!

The 41-year-old Joaquin cuts inside and curls an effort that takes a deflection and hits the outside of the post.

Betis are giving this a good old go!

Betis are finding space on the attack. A United corner is cleared and in a flash the home side are down the other end. A sloppy pass lets the visitors off the hook again.

Had to score. You are not going to get a better chance than that.

It is a poor first touch that drags him wide and then he scuffs the effort just wide.

That is a huge let off for Manchester United.

That would have really sparked this ground into life.

A massive chance goes begging!

Juanmi is away into space behind the United defence. He has just David de Gea to beat... if he scores this tie is back in the balance... but he doesn't!

He pulls his shot and it bobbles past the far post.

Almost that killer goal!

A corner is swung in and headed on by Casemiro. Wout Weghorst is a long man, but not long enough to reach the ball with a diving header.

A United goal surely kills this tie. Marcus Rashford will be very eager to capitalise on the space he will inevitably find on the counter against a side that desperately needs goals.

Oh, nearly!

United break and Marcus Rashford has space to charge into. He looks to put Facundo Pellistri in behind the Betis defence but his pass is a touch heavy.
