United, semifinalists last season, reached the last eight after Paul Pogba's goal saw them beat AC Milan 1-0 at San Siro, and will face Granada who are in the quarterfinals for the first time. The La Liga side reached this stage with a stunning win over Napoli before beating Molde in the round of 16.

Arsenal are looking to go one better than 2019 when they were beaten finalists, but will have to overcome a Slavia side who have so far eliminated Leicester City and Scottish champions Rangers.

Villarreal boss Unai Emery, who won this competition in three consecutive years with Sevilla, is bidding to become the first manager to win a European competition on four occasions. They will face Dinamo, who reached the last eight after a stunning comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the round of 16.

Should Villarreal progress to the final, they could meet Arsenal, who Emery had guided to the 2019 final.

Ajax have a tricky quarterfinal tie with Roma where, if they win, could meet United in the semifinal in a repeat of the 2017 final.
