After the first leg ended 1-1, Henrikh Mkhitaryan put United ahead on the night and in the tie with a low drive.
Sofiane Hanni equalised with a close-range finish before United missed several chances during normal time. But Rashford sent United into the last four when he swept home to seal a 3-2 aggregate win.

And Carrick was delighted United could get over the line.
"We did not start well because we did capitalise on the goal," Carrick told BT Sport.
"We created a few chances and didn't take them again - we thought it might be one of those nights.
"But we're through - that's what you have to do.
"People are saying 'what do we prioritise'? We've got to fire on all fronts.
"We have got a duty to do that. There is great belief in the squad, a great atmosphere and we hope to carry it on."
