[HAVE YOUR SAY!](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-rashford-weghorst-betis-goal-29420941#comments-wrapper) Has Weghorst been a successful signing for Man Utd so far? The Dutchman's goal came about after Claudio Bravo parried [Scott McTominay's](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/scott-mctominay) strike and he was on hand to respond quickest and guide the ball home. "Now he has his goal [at Old Trafford] and he deserved it." Asked if Weghorst at long last getting on the scoresheet after an 11-game drought meant a lot to the rest of the squad, Rashford replied: "Yes, 100 per cent. [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc). Comment [below](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-rashford-weghorst-betis-goal-29420941#comments-wrapper) At one moment, it looked as if the [Burnely](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/burnley-fc) loanee had been moved to tears.

[Real Betis](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/real-betis) in the first-leg of their [Europa League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/europa-league) round-of-16 clash, with Weghorst adding the fourth to ensure United go into the second-leg firmly in the driving seat. "He [Weghorst] was so close many times already and he has created so many chances and goals for others by making space," the United boss explained.

Liverpool beat Manchester United 7-0 in the Premier League and the Red Devils were in Europa League action on Thursday night against Real Betis.

"We started the second half well as well, with the two goals, and it's important to put us in a good place in the game. I knew I was going to go high [with the first goal] and it's always nice to start the game well and with a goal. We definitely started the game well, we had an offside goal and a had a couple of chances. Rashford scored for Man United on Thursday in their 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Europa League. For United it was a different story. It was Liverpool’s biggest win over Man United in their entire 131-year history. It was a good performance and I'm really pleased with the win." We had to stay calm, composed, as we felt like we were creating the chances and that's the difficult part. "Four goals, so I'm pleased we can start the tie in the right way and obviously bounce back from the last game as well, so it's now about getting the momentum back that we had before Liverpool. "Good performance and a good win," Rashford told [Cody Gakpo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/cody-gakpo), [Darwin Nunez](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/darwin-nunez) and [Mohamed Salah](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/mohamed-salah) also got plenty of plaudits from pundits and fans.

A debate is raging over who should wear the armband for Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford's name cropping up as a potential alternative to ...

[Bryan Robson](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/bryan-robson), [[Eric] Cantona](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/eric-cantona), that type, but he's the star player - he's been brilliant this season.

I'm happy to have Bruno Fernandes in the team and that he's captain when Harry isn’t on the pitch." Club captain [Harry Maguire](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-maguire) has spent most of this season on the bench, allowing Fernandes to lead United out for much of [Erik ten Hag](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag)'s first campaign as manager. As for Ten Hag's verdict, the United manager won't be stripping Fernandes of the armband any time soon. He's produced after coming out of a really difficult phase and he's obviously the future of this football club. Scholes took a different stance, however, admitting: "I don't really see him as a leader. Asked on Wednesday whether the Portuguese midfielder would remain vice-captain in spite of his display against Liverpool, Ten Hag replied: "Yes, definitely. He could have that responsibility and grow into the role.
