Follow all the action as Manchester United host Granada in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.

United boast a commanding 2-0 lead from the first leg, with Marcus Rashford opening the scoring before a last-gasp Bruno Fernandes penalty put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in pole position to reach the semi-finals. If United take advantage of their commanding position, they will face either Ajax or Roma in the last four.

United come into the fixture in fine spirits after a 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur and Jose Mourinho on Sunday, with Fred, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood all getting on the scoresheet. With just seven games remaining in the top flight, Solskjaer's side are all but assured of Champions League football next season, however, the Norwegian is desperate to win his first piece of silverware as head coach. He will have to contend with plenty of absentees tonight, though, with Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay suspended, while Marcus Rashford is expected to sit out due to injury. Follow all the action live below:

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer switches things up following United's 3-1 win over Tottenham last weekend. Axel Tuanzebe, Alex Telles and Nemanja Matic come in for the suspended trio of Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay. David de Gea starts in goal and Mason Greenwood replaces Marcus Rashford.

For Granada, ex-Spurs striker Roberto Soldado comes into the starting XI, while Yangel Herrera, Chelsea loanee Kenedy, Angel Montoro and Carlos Neva all get the nod.
