UEFA Europa League quarter-final and semi-final draws revealed

Manchester United will face Spanish side Granada in the Europa League quarter-finals, with a box office semi-final against one of Ajax or Roma lying in wait for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will face Slavia Prague, who have already eliminated Leicester and Rangers from this season's competition.

Arsenal made it through the round of 16 relatively unscathed against Olympiacos while Paul Pogba fired Manchester United to a win over AC Milan at San Siro that booked their place in the business end of the tournament.

A semi-final against either Ajax or Roma promises to deliver one of the biggest games of the tournament so far, with the Dutch and Italian giants due to fight out their quarter-final first leg in Amsterdam.

Ajax swept Young Boys aside 5-0 on aggregate in the last 16, while Roma had a similarly comfortable win over Shakhtar Donetsk, adding to their 3-0 first leg victory with a 2-1 win in Ukraine.

The other quarter-final tie sees Spurs' conquerers Dinamo Zagreb take on Villarreal, with the winner poised to face either Arsenal or Slavia in the semi-final.

Arsenal and Manchester United being drawn in separate sides of the tree means an all-Premier League final in Gdansk is a possibility provided both sides win their next two ties.
