Granada striker Roberto Soldado: We go to Man Utd full of pride

Granada striker Roberto Soldado insists their Europa League quarterfinal tie with Manchester United isn't over.

Granada go to England for the second-leg next week needing to overcome a 2-0 deficit.

"When we were kids watching Manchester United we all wanted to play against them and next week we are going to Old Trafford, which is one of the best stadiums in the world," said Soldado.

"Going with Granada after everything we have achieved is a source of pride. We will go with the utmost enthusiasm.

“We are going to do everything possible to overcome it, but we have to be realistic. It has been very difficult for us.

"Now it's to continue dreaming, to continue enjoying. We are realistic, we know the team we are going to face, but we are Granada and this dream will not be taken away from us, not even this result.

"We have to enjoy it to the fullest and encourage the people of Granada. We are leaving full of energy, we have given everything and we must continue in this line and enjoy what we have left in whatever way."
