    That's all from us. Thanks very much for your company and see you again soon!
  • 94'
    Granada 0-2 Man Utd!! All over in Granada and United have one foot in the semis. Granada played very well, but they lacked the killer touch in the final third. Rashford scored in the first half and then when it looked like it would be 0-1, United got a controversial penalty after Fernandes was fouled and the Portuguese was lucky to convert it as the goalie should have stopped it.

    United attack here and the cut back by James is dealt with by Granada.
