Celtic hero Neil Lennon discovers Omonia Europa League fate with huge Manchester United tie drawn

Neil Lennon and Omonia Nicosia will come up against Manchester United as they discovered their Europa League fate.

The Celtic hero earned a crack at Europe's second tier competition after landing domestic silverware in his first couple of months in Cyprus. That triumph earned a play-off spot and after superbly disposing of Belgian outfit Gent 4-0 on aggregate, they earned a spot in the tournament proper.

A stunning two-nil win on the road, with former Rangers and Hibs winger Brandon Barker netting a cracker, set up for another big night in front of their passionate home fans and they did not disappoint as they ran out as winners by the same score once again. Ex-Celtic boss Lennon is no stranger to managing on the European stage after picking up major scalps during his two spells in charge at Parkhead in both the Champions League and Europa League and now he will look to make an impression once again with Omonia.

They have been drawn into Group F and will play the Red Devils alongside Real Sociedad and FC Sheriff

The six game group sees the top two advance to the next stage while finishing third will earn a knockout spot in the Europa Conference League - a competition Robbie Neilson and his Hearts side will be competing in.
