  • 93'
    FT: Man Utd 2-0 Granada!! (agg 4-0)! All over at Old Trafford and United were comfortable in the second leg in all honesty. Cavani's early goal ruled out any real chance of a fightback. Yangel Herrera was once again Granada's best player, but he couldn't get a goal and Vallejo headed into his own goal in stoppage time.
  • 93'
    Granada's run ends in the quarter-finals but it's been a superb effort from them.
  • 92'
    Three added minutes. Granada deserve a goal for their efforts over the two legs, but United just have more quality.
  • 92'
    Own goal by Granada!!! Telles' cross into the box looks for Mata and Vallejo heads the ball into his own goal.
  • 91'
    What a save by De Gea!! Machis sends a cross into the box for Yangel Herrera and his header is well stopped by the goalie!
  • 90'
    Granada get a corner, but nothing comes of it.
  • 90'
    Granada already had a tough ask going into this one and when Cavani scored early on, that was that.
  • 89'
    Attempts: 9-10.
  • 86'
    Diaz has a shot now which is straight at De Gea!
  • 84'
    Molina gives it to Machis, but his cross is too strong for teammates to get on the end of.

  • 45'
    HT: Man Utd 1-0 Granada (agg 3-0)!! Half-time at Old Trafford and it's been straight forward for the hosts. Granada started well, but Cavani's volley after six minutes has left them with little chance. They continued to attack for a bit longer, but now United are hardly being threatened. Granada lost Gonalons to injury and it's unlikely they will score three in the second period. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 43'
    Kennedy's shot is miscued wide of the goal. He wants a corner, but he just miskicked it.
  • 41'

  • 40'
    Neva's cross from this near side is blocked by Fred. Granada are going forward, but United aren't really being troubled.
  • 37'
    A poor pass by Montoro sees the ball go to Pogba, but Cavani's pass is cut out.
  • 35'
    Granada threaten through Foulquier and Molina, but United get it away.

    Granada make three alterations. German Sanchez, Foulquier and Machis replace Duarte, Diaz and Puertas. Granada came from behind to beat Valladolid 1-2 at the weekend.
  • PRVW
    Five changes for United from the first leg Telles, Tuanzebe, Fred, Matic and Cavani come in for Shaw, Maguire, McTominay, Rashford and James. Man Utd beat Spurs 1-3 at the weekend.
  • PRVW
    11 degrees in Manchester for this one and it's dry.
  • PRVW
    Istvan Kovacs of Romania is the referee for this one while Bastian Dankert of Germany is the VAR. The AVAR is Polish and the fourth official is Swiss so we have a mixed officiating team.
  • PRVW
    A reminder that United are missing Shaw, McTominay and Maguire through suspension. Domingos Duarte is absent for the same reason for Granada.
  • PRVW
    Granada XI: Rui Silva (GK); Neva, German, Vallejo, Foulquier; Machis, Herrera, Montoro, Gonalons, Kenedy; Soldado.
  • PRVW
