Ex-Man Utd striker Gibson: Granada coach Martinez capable of surprise

Former Manchester United striker Terry Gibson says Granada will push his old team all the way tomorrow night.

United and Granada are to meet in the first-leg of their Europa League quarterfinal tie.

LaLiga pundit Gibson told manutd.com: "They can also play 4-3-3 or three-at-the-back but whatever system they play, it looks like players understand it because of the organisation and coaching skills of Diego Martinez [the manager]. I don't think there are many managers who can change tactics on a regular basis and the team still look organised, but his team do.

"I think United will win 2-1. The second leg will still be up for grabs but it'll be tough for United. United would have to play well below par in both games [to go out] and it would be a massive surprise."
