United captain Harry Maguire, midfielder Scott McTominay and left-back Luke Shaw are suspended for Thursday’s match after collecting bookings in Andalusia.
Anthony Martial and Phil Jones remain injured for a game that Eric Bailly will miss, despite returning from the Ivory Coast, where he had previously tested positive for Covid-19.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “It’s never a positive thing to not have every player available, but we’ve got players ready to deputise and come into the team of course.
“It was (a booking) amnesty after this quarter-final so we hoped to get them through, but there were some easy yellow cards that the ref handed out. We’re ready to deal with that.”
Marcus Rashford is also a doubt for Manchester United’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Granada.
The 23-year-old overcame injury concerns to open the scoring in last week’s 2-0 first-leg win in Spain before being withdrawn in the 66th minute.
Rashford managed 72 minutes of Sunday’s 3-1 Premier League win at Tottenham but was absent from training on the eve of Thursday’s return fixture against Granada.
The club said: “Daniel James is fit, despite missing the win at Tottenham through injury, but Marcus Rashford had to sit out training on Wednesday and is, therefore, doubtful for the tie.”
