Video: Casemiro scores from close range to double United’s lead over Real Betis

Casemiro adds a third.

Manchester United are strutting their stuff at the Snapdragon Stadium, despite conceding an early opener against Real Betis.

The scoreline currently stands at 3-1 in San Diego after a cross from the right found the feet of Marcus Rashford, who scored the equaliser after 18 minutes. The second goal was a beauty from Amad Diallo.

Rashford teed up Casemiro inside the six-yard area to allow the Brazilian veteran to tap home from close range.

United will be annoyed to have conceded early on. Not only did we defend poorly, but Tom Heaton parried the ball towards a Real Betis player. It was a goal gifted to Betis and United have done well to turn the game on its head before half-time.
