Europa League draw LIVE: Man Utd draw Barcelona in knockout round play-off
Juventus will take on Nantes, having failed to make it out of the Champions League groups
Manchester United will face Barcelona in a blockbuster Europa League knockout round play-off tie.
Erik ten Hag’s side finished second in their group, narrowly missing out on top spot to Real Sociedad despite a 1-0 win in Spain on the final matchday, and promptly drew the Catalan giants in what promises to be a mouth-watering tie for a place in the last 16.
Another big-name side to drop down from the Champions League, Juventus, drew French side Nantes, while Bayer Leverkusen take on Monaco in another intriguing tie and Jose Mourinho’s Roma face FC Salzburg.
The Europa League play-offs will be held over two legs, with matches played on 16 and 23 February. United will play the second leg against Barca at home at Old Trafford.
