Europa League round-of-16 draw to take place
Much more will be discovered though, when the draw is finished in Switzerland, as the entire path through to the final in Bilbao will be mapped out
This is because of the bracket system being deployed in the competition, so United and fellow English challengers Tottenham will be split. The first of the two Premier League sides will be placed in the left side of the draw, with the second on the right.
For instance, meeting, and beating, Real Sociedad would set up a quarter-final contest with FCSB or Lyon or Eintracht Frankfurt. Facing, and overcoming, AZ would see Ajax or Lyon or Frankfurt follow next.
All will become much clearer this afternoon – we will be across it on ManUtd.com and the United App.
