Europa League LIVE draw: Manchester United and Juventus discover quarter-final fate

The Red Devils return to Seville in April to face another Spanish side in Europe, having also faced Real Sociedad in the groups and Barcelona in the play-off round.

Amid rumors of a meeting between the Glazers and potential new owners, United last night secured their place in the quarter-finals with a routine 1-0 win over Real Betis. Marcus Rashford scored a spectacular goal to make it 5-1 aggregate after United dominated last week’s game at Old Trafford.

Will Erik ten Hag be able to pull off another win against Spanish opponents?

Should things go as expected in each of the drawn games – which never works out that way – Manchester United will need to defeat Sevilla, Juventus and likely Jose Mourinho’s Roma in the final if they are to win the Europa League this year.

It’s a tough road to the title. Erik ten Hag’s men were definitely placed on the more difficult side of the draw.

Sevilla are the record Europa League winners, having previously triumphed in the competition six times. Manchester United have to take on the Spanish team in the round of 16.

The Red Devils have already defeated Barcelona and Real Betis this season.
