Ruben Amorim shares Man Utd's target in Europa League

The Europa League knockout stage draw has taken place with Manchester United, Tottenham and Rangers learning their last-16 opponents.

The three British representatives are among the strongest sides left in an intriguing competition that feels wide open given the Premier League’s pair respective travails.

Manchester United take on Real Sociedad with both clubs struggling domestically this season, while Tottenham face Dutch opposition in the form of AZ Alkmaar.

Rangers, meanwhile, face a long trip to Turkey and a meeting with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

The Europa Conference League draw, which includes Chelsea, follows the second-tier proceedings.

Chelsea’s route to Conference League final revealed

Chelsea now know their potential route to the Conference League final after the draw for the next rounds of the competition took place in Switzerland.

What started off as a brilliant campaign for the Blues has quickly tailed off into a mixed run of form that has seen them drop out of both domestic cup competitions as well as the Premier League top four.

Nevertheless, their form in Europe has been imperious, with Enzo Maresca’s side winning all six of their league phase games and scoring 26 goals in the process.

They are overwhelming favourites to win the third-tier tournament and would become the first side to triumph in all three of Uefa’s main competitions should they do so. A place in next season’s Europa League is also up for grabs as added incentive.

Here’s everything you need to know about Chelsea’s potential route to the final:
