Arsenal on target today 🎯

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to <a href="https://www.bt.com/sport" target="_blank">BT Sport</a>: "Some tackles, a yellow card. I had to come off obviously. "The yellow card was unfortunate. It wasn't a yellow card for me but you have to accept it. We won the game, that's the most important thing. "I know the foul just after it, I saw all the players trying to get me out. [The manager thought] It's better I come off before red card." On his assist for Edinson Cavani's goal: "I made the run and I knew he was behind me. The way the ball went to him was perfect. A beautiful goal."

Why Aubameyng was missing today 

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to <a href="https://www.bt.com/sport" target="_blank">BT Sport</a>: "We started really well in a convincing way, aggressive in our high press. We looked a threat all the time. I really like the reaction of the team to the goal being disallowed. We scored some great goals, The clean sheet is important as well, the second one in two games. "It helped the way we played against Sheffield United. The players were in high confidence, when performances are so high the collective improves. The boys were really at it from the start. "It is a really important win in a crucial moment. We won in a convincing way, so credit to the players. "There is still a lot to do and things we can improve on, but we have a real desire to improve and be better every day. It will be really tough and Unai Emery is probably the most successful manager in this competition."

'We won in a convincing way.'

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to <a href="https://www.bt.com/sport" target="_blank">BT Sport</a>: "It was a good game. The Europa League is always difficult to play. It doesn't matter who you play against. "We know Granada have quality - they can create something. We did well. We controlled the game and had a lot of the ball. We kept the ball moving. The result shows that. "Now is the time for the next step and win a semi-final. [Before then] it's time to focus on the league. "He [Edinson Cavani] is a proper striker, a proper number nine." On facing Roma in the semis: "Every team will give you problems. They have a good organisation defensively, they can create probelms offensively. Some of their players have played in England. We know what we have to do. If we do the right things, we will have our chances to win the game."

'We know what we have to do.'

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, speaking to <a href="https://www.bt.com/sport" target="_blank">BT Sport</a>: "It was fantastic from start to finish. We did it for all the fans, they all deserve it for all the support they give us. We are really happy to progress. "We showed real character. The first one was disallowed, Emile deserved a goal, we kept going and got the first one again. We pretty much killed the game in the first half. "In the first leg we played well but weren't clinical, credit to the manager and coaching staff, the way we set up, pressed, they couldn't get out. "It shows everyone how exciting we can be, when we play like this it is so amazing to be involved in. We have a chance of going to the final and winning this competition, it is up to us. We look forward to the next opponent."

'It shows everyone how exciting we can be.'

We have KO 💢

Bernd Leno has been speaking to <a href="https://www.bt.com/sport" target="_blank">BT Sport</a> pre-match: "I think you’re right we have to improve because in the last couple of minutes we became a bit nervous. The manager analysed straight after the game and said that our game management was not good and we need to keep the ball in their half not our half and don’t play backwards." In the first leg, Arsenal conceded in the 93rd minute of the match.&nbsp; "Maybe in the last 5 minutes just play dirty and win the game. It’s not about in the last 5 minutes play beautiful football. We became nervous because you want to take the perfect result for the second leg." "Of course it’s an unbelievably big game for us. We have still the chance to go to the champions league and this is a big big motivation for all of us. Everyone speaks about Arsenal having a bad season but we can save the season."

'Our game management was not good.'

Team news | Roma vs Ajax

After winning seven consecutive home matches in European competition, Manchester United are currently winless in three (D2 L1), their longest run since October 2018 (three games); they have never gone four such matches without a win. Under the competition’s latest format (since 2009), only one has side progressed from a knockout tie having lost the first leg by at least two goals at home – Sevilla versus Real Betis in 2013-14. Marcus Rashford has scored eight goals in 10 matches in European competition this season – excluding qualifiers, this is the most by a Manchester United player since Cristiano Ronaldo (eight goals) in 2007-08, while the last player to net more was Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2002-03 (12).

Starting XIs: Manchester United vs Granada

A levelled match at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg obligates Arsenal to have to win by at least a 1-0 scoreline tonight.&nbsp; On the last eight occasions where Arsenal drew the first leg of a two-legged European knockout tie, the Gunners progressed to the next round just four times, while they have been eliminated the last three times they drew a first leg at home. Slavia Prague have lost just one of their last 10 European games (W6 D3), after losing six of their eight before that (incl. qualifiers). [Opta] Winning the Europa League seems like the only way for Mikel Arteta's side to secure European competiion next season, but first they need to get through Slavia Prague tonight.
