Granada vs Manchester United predicted line-ups: Team news ahead of Europa League fixture tonight

Manchester United play Granada tonight in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final, with the competition representing the club’s best remaining opportunity of winning a trophy this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side travel to the south of Spain with a number of injury problems in their forwards department, however, with Marcus Rashford a doubt for the game and Anthony Martial likely to miss the rest of the season.

Mason Greenwood’s return to form has come at the right time, however, with the 19-year-old scoring the winner in United’s 2-1 win over Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday.

They face a Granada side who lie ninth in La Liga and have reached the last eight of the Europa League in their first-ever season of European football.

Eric Baily is unavailable after testing positive for Covid-19 while Martial is likely to be out for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Alex Telles and Juan Mata are in line to return to the squad.

Granada manager Diego Martínez is likely to be without first-choice right-backs Dimitri Foulquier and Carlos Neva due to injury.
