Some Manchester United supporters mocked Ajax head coach Alfred Schreuder after he said it would have been "nice" to have been paired with the Reds in Monday's Europa League draw.
Following their failure to win their Europa League group last week, despite beating Real Sociedad 1-0 in their concluding group game, United must navigate their way through a two-legged play-off round against Barcelona in February. The draw was made in Switzerland on Monday morning, pitting the eight Europa League group runners-up up against the eight sides that finished third in their Champions League groups.
The winners of the eight play-off ties will progress to the last-16 of the Europa League and continue their European dream this season. Ajax were among the clubs to drop down from the Champions League and into the Europa League.
