Manchester United vs Real Betis LIVE! Friendly result, match stream and latest updates today
Manchester United beat Real Betis 3-2 at the Snapgdragon Stadium in San Diego, California.
The Red Devils put in an impressive hour against the LaLiga side, quickly recovering from falling a goal behind through Iker Losada’s strike, with Marcus Rashford scoring a quick-fire equaliser from the penalty spot after Amad Diallo was brought down.
Amad then continued his fine form this summer with a fine finish from a fantastic Harry Amass cross before Casemiro added a third before the break.
Erik ten Hag made changes at the interval and both teams lost of their attacking verve until Betis pulled one back through Diego Llorente.
United did manage to hold on in what was broadly a promising performance until the host of changes. Worries did emerge, however, when Rashford and Antony were both forced off in the second-half.
Ten Hag’s side next play Liverpool in Columbia, South Carolina before they meet Manchester City in the Community Shield.

Man Utd impress in Betis win but Rashford injury worry emerges
04:56 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester United put in an impressive showing to beat Real Betis in a pre-season friendly in San Diego.
Erik ten Hag’s side had been rocked by a double injury blow prior to kick-off at the Snapgdragon Stadium in California, with Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund reportedly set to miss three months and six weeks of action respectively.
Still, the Red Devils looked much the better team – even when falling behind. Winger Rodri had got the better of the otherwise impressive Harry Amass, forcing a scrambling save from Tom Heaton before Iker Losada tapped in.
