Granada's veteran Roberto Soldado can't wait to try and dump Man United out the Europa League

It was September 2005 when Roberto Soldado scored his first-ever European goal, nodding in David Beckham's cross for Real Madrid against Olympiacos.

If he scores against Manchester United on Thursday night it will be just as sweet - 16 years have taken none of the enthusiasm from the Granada striker.

Perhaps when he finally finishes playing in Europe his old team-mate Beckham can take him to Miami?

'My legs won't hold out that long,' he says from Granada's training ground in the build-up to the biggest game in the club's history.
