Real Betis striker Borja Iglesias is excited to be at Old Trafford tonight.

Betis meet Manchester United in the first-leg of the Europa League round of 16 tie.

Borja said, Manchester United represents my first memory of English football. Beckham, Cantona. They had a huge impact on me growing up. Going there is a gift."

The Betis striker recalls he saw United when they faced Celta and he was part of the reserve-team.

(Marcus) Rashford was young when I saw him then against Celta, but he already had the ability to make a difference and now he is even better: big but skilful, he can run a lot, score goals, create, play in many ways," he told the Guardian.

"Obviously, I admire him for the player that he is, but also for what he is off the pitch: he is an example, committed to the social sphere, giving visibility, without fear of expressing himself.

"He is not a poser, and people see it."
