NDTV
AS Roma set up a showdown with Manchester United who strolled into the semis after a 4-0 win aggregate win over Granada. The other semi-final will see Arsenal face Villarreal.
AS Roma lined up a blockbuster Europa League semi-final clash with Manchester United on Thursday after holding Ajax to a 1-1 draw to go through to the last four 3-2 on aggregate. Edin Dzeko's strike 18 minutes from time ensured the draw and passage for Paulo Fonseca's side, who were on the back foot for most of the match, and a showdown with United who strolled into the semis 4-0 after a 2-0 win over La Liga outfit Granada at Old Trafford. The other semi-final will see Arsenal face Villarreal, coached by former Gunners boss Unai Emery. "I've never got to a semi-final before, so I'm very proud, especially as we are representing Italy right now," said Fonseca, who has been under pressure following a disappointing Serie A campaign. "It's a source of pride for Roma and we are all very happy."
