Manchester United have travelled to the southern Spanish city of Granada for Thursday’s Europa League quarterfinal first leg. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side will be pleased at having avoided Arsenal or Roma in the draw, and will be expecting a relatively routine advance into the semifinals. Granada are currently sitting ninth in the La Liga table, and saw off Solskjær’s former club, Molde, and Italian giants Napoli to get this far.

The Spanish side are, however, hampered by the absences of several first-teamers. Quini, Luis Milla and Luis Suárez (not that one) are all out; Dimitri Foulquier, Carlos Neva and Alberto Soro are doubts. For United, Anthony Martial is sidelined with a knee injury, and Eric Bailly is out after testing positive for COVID-19. Alex Telles, Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata have all made the trip, but will have to pass late fitness tests to play.
