United meticulously protected the comfortable advantage they established at Old Trafford as the Spanish team huffed and puffed to little effect and exited with a whimper. Juanmi missed a sitter from close range early in the first half that could have changed the script as a packed Benito Villamarin stadium urged on their side to try to wipe out the three-goal deficit. Rashford missed a simple chance but atoned immediately, slotting a fine long-range strike inside the left post in the 55th minute. Player ratings from the game can be seen in the gallery above.
