00:00Brazilian who are very concerned and there is the United change Donny van de Beek
00:06has come on for Paul Pogba. Pogba looked a little unhappy as he made his way off the field at
00:13halftime perhaps he was carrying an octet. Hamatanga with Kennedy took a blow to the knee
00:18just before halftime. Anyway we're back underway again in the second half Granada
00:24and they changed to all black from left to right in the second half
00:29and looking for a goal. An early one may well give them something to work with
00:35but United's control in that first 45 of this second leg was pretty total and they seem to
00:43be cruising their way towards another semi-final. 17th in European competition and third in this
00:51competition which would set a new English club record. Arsenal of course would also
00:58reach their third this evening in their tie against Slavia Prague.
01:07Fred Fernandes gets to turn. There's some space in front of him. Tellez outside him.
01:13Good harrying by the Granada substitutes combining there. Fuertas and Suarez full of
01:33enthusiasm and running at the start of this second half having just come on and they
01:37force United to go back to David de Gea.
01:46Five changes for United this evening as we know. Three enforced by
01:52suspensions to Shaw, Maguire and McTominay. Marcus Rashford carrying a knot
02:01and James was the other player to drop out of the lineup who
02:04played in the first leg last week in Spain.
02:08Vallejo. Herrera looks to lay it off. He's kept in play but only as far as a red shirt
02:16and Zebe does well to find Lindelof.
02:25Good, good.
02:33Manu Matic who is one of the five players who came into the starting lineup
02:38among those changes. One with Fred, Cavani, Tellez and Zebe. As I mentioned it's a
02:45young and inexperienced United bench. Some of those youngsters will be hoping to get a taste
02:49of European football later on.
02:58Here is Maxime Gonelon who went off in the first half for Granada taking a blow on the shoulder.
03:12Go on Zebe.
03:21United returning possession very comfortably and then it's
03:23into midfield quickly for Fernandez who finds Tellez. Greenwood.
03:29Fred.
03:45Matic.
03:49United probing for a goal early in the second half. It would definitely kill things off but not by that.
03:54Matic giving the ball away. Suarez finding Fuertas. The two substitutes combining.
04:05One of the changes in the Granada starting lineup tonight. Van der Beek looking to get
04:09involved has gone to ground and brought down Montoro. Conceded the free kick.
04:18Opportunity for Donny van der Beek who
04:23remains unable to force himself into United's regular starting lineup in the Premier League.
04:32Chance for him here to make some kind of impact.
04:38Alejo.
04:41Good footwork by Edgar Herrera.
04:47Fouquier delivers the cross. It's over the top of everyone and the header is downwards and on target but not powerful enough
04:57to beat De Gea. Lindelof got underneath it. Tellez and it's Molina.
05:01The first half substitute with the header on target counts as a decent chance for Granada.
05:07Here's United at the other end. Van der Beek. Greenwood all on his own and had plenty of time.
05:13Really could have brought that down and finished it.
05:17Well chances at both end. Granada going close through Molina. Easy save for De Gea and Greenwood really should have done better with that.
05:23Van der Beek put it on his head but he really had time to
05:25chest it down. Put it where he likes. Well here's the Granada chance. Molina not making clean contact.
05:31It actually came off Juan Bosacca and bounced into the hands of De Gea. Easy enough save.
05:37United's chance at the other end immediately was rather better but Mason Greenwood
05:45couldn't convert it. Took the first time header from Van der Beek's cross. Easy save for Rui Silva.
05:55Van der Beek.
06:11Neatly done there by Granada and here's another chance for Molina. Breaking forward to De Gea.
06:17Uses his feet. Got there first to clear it as far as Juan Bosacca who
06:21finds the goalkeeper again whose
06:25bump down field goes out of play. David De Gea.
06:29No longer first choice for United in the Premier League it seems.
06:33Off his line sharply there to win that foot race with Jorge Molina.
06:39Granada have had a couple of moments at the start of this second half that will give them
06:43confidence that they can at least get on the score sheet at this time.
06:51De Gea with time to chip it at the path of Tellez.
06:59Fernandez helps it on and here's Tellez tossing the full key eight.
07:05Neyman, the skipper.
07:07Molina.
07:19Matic penalized for snapping into the tackle a little too vigorously. Free kick to Granada.
07:25Granada.
07:33Looking to become the eighth Spanish club to reach a European semi-final in their
07:37debut season in Europe have been some achievement.
07:41We're seeing who began their campaign in the second qualifying round.
07:47And if they are heading out this evening that seems likely.
07:51And do so with their head held high. They've made a real impact to this competition
07:55this season and they're still looking to make some kind of impact here.
07:59In comes the cross aimed once again towards Molina.
08:03Cut out this time by Tellez. Granada still have it though.
08:07Will be challenged by
08:09Tan Zevi this time who can seize the free kick.
08:13Neva.
08:17Has caught him there.
08:21Granada.
08:25The first eight minutes or so of the second half Granada have looked more
08:29dangerous, more threatening going forward that they did for
08:33almost the entirety of that first period.
08:35They had the wind taken out of their sails by that early Cavani goal.
08:41And they have the free kick now. Lofted into the box. Very deep and easy for De Gea
08:45who gathers that unchallenged and bowls it out quickly for Fernandez.
08:52Looking to find Greenwood whose pace can't quite get him there this time.
08:56Cut out by Neva.
09:01Diego Martinez.
09:03The Eurovision adventure appears to be coming to an end but
09:07his stock will certainly have risen with what he's achieved this season.
09:21Tan Zevi.
09:33Tan Zevi.
09:42A titch.
09:46Looking for options and then had his pocket picked rather by
09:49Angel Herrera. The ball forward is once again aimed for
09:54Luis Suarez, the substitute this time, but over here.
10:10He went into this game unbeaten in the last 16 Euroleague home games.
10:14The last defeat was to a Spanish side, Athletic Bilbao.
10:19The 16 all the way back in 2012.
10:21So it was an imposing record that Granada had to try and end.
10:26Fred is involved in the exchange there.
10:29The Granada player has gone down.
10:32Protesting his innocence. Play continues.
10:34And it's as well to cut that out and find Fernandez. Fernandez with a first time pass.
10:39Vallejo can't completely cut it out. It's come to Van de Beek.
10:44Considers the cross, then has to check.
10:46Mombasaka instead. Gives it back to the Dutchman.
10:50Fernandez always available, finding a little room. Cavani!
10:54What a chance for another goal for the Argent side.
10:58And he knows he should have done better.
11:02Found some space.
11:04Well worked. Fernandez finding room to deliver the cross.
11:08Cavani's onside comfortably.
11:10He doesn't really make clean contact with the header at all. Fernandez.
11:13Swinging that boot again.
11:16Off Cavani's shoulder.
11:18And well off target.
11:22Another opportunity for the Argentine to start work on his second
11:2650 goals in European competition, but not like that.
11:38Extraordinary goal scoring record in his career.
11:41Extraordinary goal scoring record in his career, but always hungry for more.
11:46Fuertas.
11:48Takes about the first time cross, then cuts inside.
11:53And there's Fouquier.
11:54Tellez will cut that out. Fernandez, who trips up everywhere.
11:59Pass has gone astray, but Tellez should be able to deal with it.
12:02Can't shepherd it out of play though.
12:04Has to knock it downfield. Vallejo heads it forward.
12:10Fuertas. Molina helps it on.
12:15Fuertas loses his footing.
12:18And it goes behind.
12:29Here's the chance again. You see Cavani's clever run across the face of
12:34the six yard box away from the defender.
12:36Just needed a better contact with the header to steer it goalwards.
12:41Paul Pogba, who came off at halftime, is
12:45leaving the arena it seems.
12:47His evening's work is complete.
12:50Bernardo knocking it around nicely.
12:52And here's a chance for Luis Suarez.
12:54Zeyneb does well. Get across and cut out the danger.
13:06Taking his chance at the side tonight with Maguire missing.
13:16Eric Bailly, still a sideline with an injury.
13:20Some opportunities in defense for Tainzabi.
13:24That's neatly done.
13:25Fouquier will try and deliver the cross. Cut out by Tellez.
13:28And then that Granada player can't control it.
13:31Out for a united throw.
13:36Another change being prepared by the home side.
13:38Daniel James, who was involved in the first leg,
13:42as a starter.
13:43Dropped out of the XI tonight, but is about to come on it seems.
13:47Just before the hour mark.
13:55Fouquier, Fernandez for once can't control it.
13:58Fuertas, surrounded by red shirts.
14:01United's hunger to defend a clean sheet is impressive.
14:05Fouquier.
14:07Wan-Bissaka sliding in.
14:09He's caught the man, but the referee is happy for play to continue.
14:12Mason Greenwood using his pace and running at the Granada defense.
14:16Here's van der Beek.
14:17Just wide from Donny van der Beek.
14:21They broke quickly there, United.
14:23Wan-Bissaka sliding in.
14:26Good matches, but play continued.
14:28Then Greenwood was away and running.
14:31Overran it.
14:32The ball found itself.
14:34Van der Beek's feet.
14:37Took it first time.
14:40Just wide.
14:54There's the goal.
14:56That separates the sides in this second leg.
15:00Edinson Cavani came after just six minutes.
15:02So that is the end of the Uruguayans' evening.
15:06Handshake from his manager.
15:08And off he goes.
15:09Daniel James, the Welshman, comes on for the last half an hour of the game.
15:23Vallejo.
15:33Herrera, who's always full of running, but he miscontrolled there.
15:37Gave the ball to Fernandez, which is frequently a mistake.
15:39He was trying to find Greenwood, but claims that the ball was handled
15:45by the defender as he played it forward.
15:48Hamann sliding in the skip-up.
15:51Did appear to come off his arm.
15:59And a yellow card.
16:02For the handball.
16:05With the Granada captain.
16:06Free kick to United.
16:07Matic will take it.
16:24Talonzebi. Van der Beek.
16:25Van der Beek.
16:31Wampasaka first time.
16:32Daniel James, his first touch is in the penalty area.
16:35Looks to deliver the cross.
16:37Cut out by Vallejo, who heads it clear.
16:45Lofted downfield by Nevas.
16:46Suarez is the target.
16:49Finds itself at the feet of Puertas.
16:53Granada obtaining possession well here.
16:56Fouquier on the overlap.
16:59Angel Herrera.
17:03Montoro. Molina.
17:08Decent possession this by the Spanish side.
17:10But can they hurt United with the final ball?
17:12The home side are well organized defensively.
17:15Headed clear by Talonzebi.
17:19Granada have it again.
17:21Wampasaka sticks out one of those telescopic legs to
17:25block the intended cross.
17:26Throw to the visitors.
17:38Heavy touch there from Vallejo, but he retains possession.
17:42Herrera helps it on again.
17:45Puertas.
17:48Wampasaka makes the slide.
17:56Held out defensively.
17:57Thumped downfield by Wampasaka.
17:59Greenwood was the target.
18:00Van der Beek can't find him with the first time pass.
18:03Held out defensively.
18:04Thumped downfield by Wampasaka.
18:06Greenwood was the target.
18:07Van der Beek can't find him with the first time pass.
18:33Suarez.
18:37Deflected by Matic out for a throw.
18:49Out by Telez.
18:52Van der Beek first time for Fred, who runs into a Granada
18:57player.
18:58Puertas.
18:59First time by Molina.
19:00Helped on by Herrera.
19:01Trying to find Suarez.
19:03Van der Beek does well to turn away, but then is checked.
19:07Also he claims.
19:08The referee not interested.
19:20Only once before had a club won a Europa League knockout
19:23stage tie after losing the first leg at home by more than
19:26one goal.
19:27It was a Spanish club, Sevilla.
19:29Against Betis in 2014.
19:31Did it on penalties.
19:33Granada's prospects of achieving that tonight.
19:35Faded very early in the second leg when Cavani popped up
19:38with their goal.
19:39They have held their own since.
19:41One or two opportunities.
19:43You have to say United have had the better chances.

23:09They have held their own since.
23:11Just too much on the ball forward
23:15from Matic.
23:23Very familiar face.
23:25The most familiar face
23:27as far as Manchester United
23:29are concerned. Here as always
23:31enjoying the game and I'm sure enjoying
23:33the progress
23:35that Manchester United are making to Alex Ferguson.
23:37Ferguson
23:39never misses.
23:47Back to Suarez
23:49who's first time attempted cross
23:51is in the stand
23:53and no harm at all to De Gea's goal.
23:59Martinez's men are still working hard,
24:01still looking to make something happen.
24:03They haven't given up on this.
24:05I'm sure in their heart of hearts
24:07that it's a lost cause but
24:17still trying to make something happen.
24:21De Gea
24:23in towards Greenwood over his head.
24:25Tied up by
24:27Jesus Vallejo.
24:29Vallejo
24:31has a chance
24:33from his goalkeeper. Chips it downfield.
24:35Cut out by Fernandez.
24:39Fouquier loses his footing.
24:41Fernandez has it back.
24:43It's an opportunity to try and find
24:45Daniel James. It's cut out by Hermann
24:47but James is quickest to it.
24:51Matic.
24:55Fred just stumbles at his first touch.
24:57He hopes to win it back and sees the free kick
24:59quickly taken.
25:01Bernardo looking to get downfield
25:03in Darwin matches.
25:05Bernardo
25:07looking to get downfield in Darwin matches.
25:29Another change coming up for the
25:31visitors.
25:35A full substitute used.
25:41Just 20 minutes.
25:43A stoppage time remaining now.
25:45And there's tie.
25:49Fouquier.
25:59Pass forward by Montoro. Kept in play.
26:06Hermann.
26:13And again, Fouquier neatly done.
26:15Skipper venturing forward again.
26:17Suarez.
26:19Now the defender
26:21finds himself out wide on the
26:23right wing.
26:25Still not cut out and sits up for a shot
26:27by Herrera.
26:29It's blocked though by
26:31a United player and van der Beek can break forward.
26:33Greenwood.
26:35Down the line for the Dutchman who continued his run.
26:41James gives chase. Gets there first.
26:55Fernandez.
26:57Nice with Fred.
27:03Fernandez to James.
27:05Little pace every time he gets the ball.
27:07Fernandez.
27:17Fernandez looking to turn away.
27:19Saw one.
27:21The Achilles.
27:23Montoro the guilty man.
27:27Catching him on the heel.
27:33Boot in fact and Fernandez
27:37looks like that's the end of his evening.
27:41The armband after Paul Pogba went off.
27:43Now looking for someone else to take over.
27:45Juan Mata preparing to come on
27:47for the Portuguese.
27:51The armband will go
27:53to the Spaniard
27:55as he comes on against his countryman,
27:57Juan Mata.
27:59With a smile for Fernandez.
28:03A rare opportunity
28:05this season for Juan Mata
28:07to make an impact.
28:0920 minutes remaining or so.
28:11Free kick taken quickly by United.
28:13Matic.
28:15James.
28:17Towards Mata.
28:19Looking for his first touch. Doesn't get it there.
28:21Fred's gone down now
28:23with a bit of a shriek.
28:25The referee stops play quickly.
28:27Fred has felt that.
28:29He's caught in the challenge.
28:33Ball in the air.
28:37Jumping into him.
28:39Just catching him there.
28:43On the shin.
28:49Saw one.
28:51I'm afraid we'll need treatment.
28:57Here's the name
28:59has been taken.
29:01Herrera has been
29:03cautioned for that tackle.
29:05This is the change that Granada
29:07were planning to make a few moments ago.
29:09Victor Diaz comes on.
29:13Carlos Neva who makes way.
29:23Fred is still down.
29:25Now the referee is pacing out
29:27the free kick.
29:43Which is a dangerous one
29:45for Granada to defend.
29:47Rui Silva organising his
29:49wall here.
29:55No debate
29:57about who's taking it.
29:59Alex Tellez is all on his own.
30:01Standing over this free kick.
30:03Fernandez of course has
30:05just left the field.
30:09It will be Tellez.
30:11Takes a deflection off the wall.
30:13And the referee
30:19deflected over the crossbar
30:21the free kick.
30:25The referee saw something
30:27he didn't like anyway.
30:33He restarts with Granada
30:35in possession with Hema.
30:39Rui Silva.
30:41Tellez looks to cut that out
30:43before it reaches Fouquier.
30:45And knocks it out for a throw.
31:07And it's classed out.
31:10Scottish clubs have lost their
31:12last five quarter finals against
31:14Spanish teams before this time.
31:16All five previous UEFA
31:18cup or Europa League
31:20quarter finals.
31:24The course was
31:26changed by the outcome of the
31:28Liverpool tie in the Champions League
31:30last night.
31:34Extended in fact.
31:36United have ended that streak, it appears, with 15 minutes or so remaining and a 3-0 advantage.
31:48Granada, still probing, still trying to make something happen. Darwin Machis,
31:54to Diaz and the substitutes, just haven't really had enough to really hurt United.
32:07Faulquier, that's a decent cross, Wan-Bissaka can't deal with it, Suarez keeps the attack alive,
32:15finds Machis who goes past Wan-Bissaka, stands up the cross but it's straight into the hands
32:20of David De Gea, comfortable enough. Fred there who seems to have shaken off that knock he took
32:37at about a minute or two ago. His control just lets him down but he was caught there, free kick to United.
33:07Wan-Bissaka, Mata, Fred, United happy to knock it around now in truth, this is
33:31uh you've got the feel of a extended training session for the English team as they cruise
33:37towards the semi-finals. 3-0 up, just over 10 minutes remaining, no need for them to force
33:43anything. They have created opportunity here for James who will break forward but
33:48in the end inevitably the flag goes up and he was offside.
33:51Tanners with the pass, let's see where James clearly, offside there,
34:01went up straight away in fact.
34:21Luis Silva keeps it into midfield, holding on to the head of Wan-Bissaka, Mata
34:27takes it first time, links up with van der Beek, looks to find the cross for Greenwood,
34:31well cut out by Vallejo, by Puertas, chance for Granada to break but that pass has gone astray
34:38before it can reach Luis Suarez, easily cut out by Victor Lindelof and here's Alex Tellez for
34:43United. Van der Beek has stumbled, come to Greenwood anyway, will stand up the cross, headed clear.
34:52United head is first though on the loose ball, Matic.
35:02Well the introduction of youth here at Old Trafford with the tie seemingly in the bag,
35:07a couple of the younger names on the bench this evening will get their chance.
35:15Amad Diallo and Brandon Williams who both of course have first team experience, of course Amad Diallo
35:20has made his contribution to this campaign with a goal against Milan in the round of 16.
35:28And about to be introduced for the remaining 10 minutes or so of this tie.
35:45Looking to lay it off, van der Beek does well, sliding in to retain possession,
35:49Wan-Bissaka finds Greenwood in the penalty area,
35:52hasn't taken the ball with him, United retain possession with Wan-Bissaka who has to check.
36:00Fred, it's a slightly tired attack from United, Tellez, James, van der Beek tries to find him again
36:12can't quite do so, Fouquier just does it off, Amad clears it, Fred who has popped up everywhere,
36:21very very busy evening by the Brazilian, that's a foul by Tellez though, free kick to Granada
36:29which will give the referee the chance to indicate that United can make these changes,
36:35in fact it's Granada making another change.
36:37The captain, Amad is making way, it's the arm bend to Angel Montoro and Nguyen Tellez comes on,
36:47another youngster getting an opportunity and here are the United changes, the first of them anyway,
36:52Mason Greenwood, it's a little disgruntled to be going off, makes way for Amad,
37:06a rare rest for Aaron Wan-Bissaka who pretty much plays every minute of every game but not
37:18this evening, he's gone off for the last few minutes to be replaced by Brandon Williams.
37:36Van der Beek, he went on for Brandon Williams, not sure he kept that in play but
37:48Granada appeals are ignored and then Vallejo cuts it out anyway,
37:54Montoro who's taken over the armband,
38:08Tellez the substitute, it's his first touch,
38:16it's a nothing ball forward which will just trickle through for
38:21De Gea to tidy up, well David De Gea looking to make an impression as he tries to
38:27force his way back into United Premier League side, in truth he hasn't really had the opportunity
38:31to do so this evening, a pretty quiet evening for the Spaniard against his countryman here.
38:44He's gone forward for Van der Beek, he's cut out though, perhaps there will be work for De Gea to
38:48do, Matic is wrestling forward at the edge of the area, Granada have kept it going, the cross
38:54comes in over the top of Tellez, there was no one in a black shirt looking to get on the end of it,
39:00United gave the ball away on the edge of the area with Matic there,
39:05Molina got it out wide, the cross came in, Puertas hand gambled, Herrera with the cross
39:14over the top of everybody,
39:24resigned face of the Granada coach,
39:30another goal, Suarez,
39:45Matic spins behind for a corner,
40:05Toro will take just over five minutes remaining there here at Old Trafford,
40:09United strolling their way in truth into the semi-finals of the Europa League,
40:17Granada looking for a consolation, not like that and Toro's corner is easily cut out at the near
40:22post by Mata, it's straight back to him, once again he can't get the cross in before Mata,
40:30blocks it once more, throw this time,
40:39cross comes in, partially cleared and on the follow-up there's a save there for De Gea to make,
40:46Victor Diaz the substitute, got something behind that, kept it down on target and De Gea
40:53who's had a very quiet evening as I said, was able to gather that comfortably enough
40:57and hold on to it, busiest the keeper has been for a while, United immediately pressing at the
41:03other end, but the pass intended for Van de Beek from Ahmed goes astray, Granada can clear it,
41:11towards halfway, Matic gets in and knocks it out for a throw,
41:25Diego Martinez just managed to accidentally hit his own player in the face with the ball, but all
41:29smiles, a big touch there gives Fred the chance to get in with the challenge on Darwin
41:39matches, Victor Diaz who had that shot a moment ago, all out for another Granada throw,
41:49Williams, Mambasaka's replacement on that right-hand side will tidy that up,
41:53and a chip forward by Mata,
42:01okay, touched by Suarez, Herrera, Molina, Suarez was the intended target, once again the final ball is
42:31wayward, through it goes to David De Gea,
42:43he just lobs it coolly into midfield, but Van de Beek can't control it for long,
42:49Granada have it back with Diaz, Molina,
42:53and then Matius is once again dealt with by Brandon Williams, how the play it goes,
43:10well very much according to plan for United this evening, attempts on goal they've been slightly
43:17overshadowed, ten to nine attempts on target, two apiece,
43:21but the one attempt that mattered came very early in this second leg,
43:24and it did effectively kill things off as far as a meaningful contest was concerned,
43:30and Scovane made it 3-0 on aggregate, Suarez looking to muscle in, and that's an extraordinary
43:36attempt of clearance by Alex Tellez, who's just lost it over his own crossbar with his left foot,
43:41behind for a corner, throat hurled in, nobody really made any kind of contact on it,
43:47and it came to Tellez, I'm pretty sure he wasn't really intending to do that, but
43:53it's safely behind I suppose, corner it is to the Spaniards,
44:01they will have plenty of men forward, as they look for their goal, headed clear,
44:08Montoro finds Suarez in its clipped, Terrenzabi with the head up, and United work it away,
44:15James gets a touch, and here's a chance for Ahmed to break away, there's only Suarez trying
44:19to deal with it, and Ahmed has retained possession, and then surely he's fouled,
44:23the referee is right there, and ignores any appeals for a free kick, Ahmed has undoubted pace,
44:31but he never really had that under control, Victor Diaz at the end was able to deal with it,
44:36and Granada cleared that particular moment of danger,
44:40Puertas taking on Terrenzabi and Brandon Williams,
44:45finding room for the cross, and it comes, great save by De Gea from the header,
44:51well he's had an evening with very little to do David De Gea, but in the last few minutes he's
44:55had to make a couple of saves, the first one from Victor Diaz was reasonably straightforward,
45:00but that was a very good save, and here it's United at the other end with Mata,
45:09Tennis, aim towards Mata, and it's come off Vallejo and got it,
45:15all that is a sad and frustrating end as far as the Spaniards are concerned,
45:21as the clock ticks into added time, Man United extend their lead through their own goal,
45:27but it's Jesus Vallejo, they had a decent chance at the other end which was saved well by De Gea,
45:34Juan Mata got United down the pitch, the cross from Teles over the top of Mata,
45:41who may have got a little touch on it, either way it deflected off Vallejo,
45:48and Rui Silva had no chance, it's in the net, and United have a goal right at the end of the game
45:53to rubber stamp their progress, Mata did get a touch, but not enough to beat the keeper,
45:58the telling contribution came from the unfortunate defender,
46:02Jesus Vallejo steering that past his keeper, and it's two-nil United,
46:14well in the great scheme of things that won't matter too much,
46:17the job was done for United, the tie was lost as far as Granada were concerned, but that's a
46:22frustrating end for him,
46:29just before that own goal David De Gea made a sensational save to preserve United's cleaned
46:35shape, the header from Angel Herrera, who's always looked the more threatening of the Granada
46:42forwards, and that was a good header, got in ahead of Teles, and that's a fine reaction save from De
46:47Gea, and before that incident Ahmed Diallo trying to break free, got away from Suarez,
46:54was surely fouled there by Victor Diaz, but
46:58in truth the youngster never really had it under control,
47:03his chance for the breakaway goal, so a lively end to the game with opportunities at both ends,
47:07and a second goal for United, to absolutely seal their progress, Matic looking to find Ahmed again,
47:17oh
47:39he's had a very composed night, but that isn't his best clearance straight out for a throw,
47:47doesn't look like a man who's watching his team progress to a European semi-final,
47:51but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will surely be happy enough with how this evening has panned out,
47:56he went into the tie with a comfortable lead, but with suspensions and injuries to contend with,
48:02which weren't ideal, but they've made light of that, and it's been a very comfortable night,
48:07Matic, who was
48:12had an imposing evening, Donny van der Beek, who's been full of running in his second half,
48:20can't get in the end of that, might have been offside anyway,
48:25and that is that, the referee blows the final whistle, and the tie is done, Edinson Cavani
48:30substituted in the second half, but he made the contribution that counted,
48:34as he extended United's 2-0 lead very early in this second leg, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shakes hands
48:39with his opposite number Diego Martinez, Cavani's goal effectively settled things, from then on
48:46it was a question of whether Granada could get a consolation, they couldn't, and in the end they
48:51conceded another themselves through the unfortunate Jesus Vallejo, who's all smiles about it now,
48:56who deflected United's second goal into his own net, David Ojea made a fine save later on
49:02to preserve a clean sheet for Solskjaer's men, and they will be very happy with their evening's work.
