Granada defender Domingos Duarte insists they have nothing to fear from Europa League opponents Manchester United.

The first-leg of their quarterfinal will be held on Thursday night.

Duarte told AS: "They're good team. We also have our weapons and we must know how to counter them, in one way or another. In a tie, anything can happen and you have to be prepared. It is a team that plays in quick transitions. We have our points and we will adapt to the way they play. We will be the Granada of always.

"Many players who are in Granada can get to where those (United) players are. We have young and experienced people. That mix might help young people jump in and catch up with them. Everything starts somewhere and everything has its moment. And I think our time may come."

Duarte added: "If we had our fans it would be easier or less difficult for us, however you want to interpret it."
