Manchester United will face A.S Roma in the semi-final of the Europa League after a 4-0 aggregate win over Granada.
United's progress was never in doubt after Edinson Cavani provided a smart finish to Paul Pogba's header which extended their aggregate lead to 3-0, after a 2-0 win at Granada last week.
United made it 2-0 on the night in stoppage time when Jesus Vallejo accidentally turned Alex Telles' cross into his own goal.
It was a notable night too for Edinson Cavani. He scored his first European goal for Manchester United, his 50th in total in European football competition. There has been some debate recently about whether the forward will sign a new contract with United.
