Granada vs Man Utd interrupted by streaker as police escort invader off pitch


Police were forced to intervene after a streaker interrupted Manchester United’s Europa League clash at Granada.

The pitch invader ran on early in the first half, despite the game being played behind closed doors in Spain.

It is unclear who he is or why he was in the stadium.

United are bidding to take a first-leg lead in their Europa League quarter-final as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks for some silverware as Red Devils boss.

Marcus Rashford gave United the lead before half-time with his 20th goal in all competitions.

Despite the difference in both the talent at his disposal in comparison to Granada and the stature of the two clubs, Solskjaer was taking nothing for granted before the match.

He said: “They’re full of experience and character which you expect from teams who have been promoted recently.

If United are successful over two legs, they will face either Ajax or Roma in the semi-finals.
