UEFA Europa League quarter-final fixtures: Manchester United draw Granada, Arsenal face Slavia Prague
Former champions Manchester United and Ajax will play Granada and Roma, respectively, in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
Manchester United will face Granada in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. The draw was conducted on Friday at the European House of Football in Nyon, Switzerland.
The 2017 UEL champions Man United eliminated AC Milan after a hard-fought Round of 16 contest while Granada got past Molde.
Interestingly, Spanish club Granada made it to the quarter-finals stage in their first-ever European appearance.
The other English team in the competition, Arsenal, have been drawn against Slavia Prague.
The Gunners handed Prague a 7-0 thumping in their last meeting back in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League.
Two-time finalists, Arsenal, are the third British team Prague will be facing in the knockout stage after eliminating Leicester City and Rangers in the last two rounds.
Ajax, the winners of the 1992 edition of UEL, will battle it out against Italian side AS Roma.
Both teams came into the last eight with convincing victories over their opponents in the pre-quarterfinals as Ajax beat Young Boys and Roma eased past Shakhtar Donetsk.
In the last quarter-final draw, Spanish side Villarreal face Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb.
While Dinamo came back from two goals down against Tottenham to win 3-2 on aggregate, Villarreal sailed through with easy wins over Dynamo Kyiv.
The UEL quarter-finals will be played across two legs, with the first leg scheduled on April 8 and the second leg on April 15 (April 16 in India).
