'We can go to the desert or anywhere because we feel strong': Granada boss Diego Martinez urges his side to 'make the most of the moment' ahead of quarter-final against Manchester United in fairy-tale Europa League campaign

Granada have gone from the Spanish second tier to a first European quarter-final in just two years, with boss Diego Martinez calling on his players to write another remarkable chapter in their fairy-tale against Manchester United.

Having hosted semi-professional football as recently as 2010, the Estadio Municipal Nuevo Los Carmenes will welcome the 20-time English champions in the Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday.

Granada have already knocked out Serie A side Napoli and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's former club Molde during their first ever European campaign, which they qualified for by finishing seventh in LaLiga last term.
