But there are five Japan internationals in the Eredivisie, such as Ayase Ueda, Ko Itakura, and Tsuyoshi Watanabe, and that knowledge could play to Ronald Koeman's advantage. Tunisia will be challenging, so too the European playoff winner, but Oranje s...

MANCHESTER UNITED VS REAL BETIS 4-1 Match report as Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst all score as Manchester United thrash Betis 4-1 in the Europa League last-16 first leg at Old Trafford; Leicester loanee Ayoze Perez nets visitors' only goal. Manchester United bounced back from Sunday's trouncing at Liverpool with Antony's stunner helping them cement a 4-1 first-leg Europa League last-16 lead over Real Betis.

Fernandes' booming header from a corner was too powerful for Claudio Bravo to handle, and Wout Weghorst added a fourth after fine work from substitute Facundo Pallestri. Antony and Weghorst both missed glorious chances to extend Uni...
