Manchester United’s perfect sheet will have set them up well for the return leg at home and Lindelof figured out how to stay away from a yellow card, which means he’ll be accessible for choice, in opposition to Maguire.
The help for Marcus Rashford’s opener was urgent as Manchester United was not playing great at that point and required that snapshot of sorcery to help quiet them down. Lindelof provided a superb assist to Rashford, that pass opened the Granada defense and helped Rashford score for the team.
Granada never truly undermined regardless of attempting to do as such and the onus was consistently on Solskjaer’s men to discover a leap forward.
With two crucial away goals in their back pocket, United would now be able to consider resting a few squad members as they will not risk them going further into the competition.
