Manchester United have been dealt a reunion with José Mourinho, who manages Fenerbahce, in this season’s revamped Europa League. Their remaining seven games include an enticing all-British clash at Old ­Trafford against Rangers, who will also face Spurs.

A visit to Istanbul will pit United against the manager who led them to success in this competition in 2017, when they defeated Ajax in the final. Mourinho was sacked the following year and, two jobs later, pitched up at Fenerbahce in June. He previously led a team against United during his stint at Spurs between 2019 and 2021.
