Man United can play Europa League tie vs Granada in Spain with travel restrictions set to be lifted
According to the Evening Standard, Manchester United look set to be able to play their UEFA Europa League quarter-final away leg tie against Granada in Spain.
Manchester United made it to the last eight stages of the Europa League after defeating AC Milan 2-1 on aggregate in the previous round. The Red Devils have been handed a tricky draw in the form of La Liga outfit Granada.
Manchester United are scheduled to face Granada in the away leg on April 8th. And, it is now being claimed that the game could be held as normal in Spain with travel restrictions set to be lifted.
The Spanish Government had placed stringent restrictions on travellers from the UK. As a result, our UEFA Europa League Round of 32 away leg against Real Sociedad had to be played out in Turin.
Likewise, Chelsea had to play their Champions League away game against Atletico Madrid in the last round in Bucharest.
However, as per the latest update, the Spanish Government announced on Tuesday that it would be lifting entry restrictions on travellers from the UK from 30 March after three months, citing the success of the UK’s vaccination programme.
Visitors from the UK will still need to return a negative PCR result from a test taken during the 72 hours prior to arrival in Spain.

That means Manchester United will now be able to travel to Granada to take on them at the picturesque Los Carmenes next month.
Having crashed out of the FA Cup, the Europa League represents the only chance of the club ending the season with silverware. Hopefully, we can go all the way this term after having been dumped out at the semi-final stages last time out.
