Manchester United are taking on Granada tonight in the Europa League quarter-finals, hoping to earn an away lead from this first leg encounter. United are the favourites to win the competition and will count themselves fortunate to have drawn a team who have never reached this stage before, and lie ninth in La Liga, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won’t be taking anything for granted.

The 23-year-old limped off in the second half against Brighton on Sunday and trained on Wednesday, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is unlikely to be “a 90-minute man” tonight.
