We simulated Europa League draw with Manchester United handed tough tie and Arsenal given nightmare scenario

Manchester United will discover who they will face in the last-16 of the Europa League when the draw is conducted at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon this morning.

United, who last won the competition in 2017, progressed to the next round of the tournament last night with a famous come-from-behind 2-1 win over Barcelona at Old Trafford. Goals from Fred and Antony sealed a 4-3 aggregate victory for Erik ten Hag's side, who are still competing in four different competitions this term.

The Reds found themselves 1-0 down at the half-time interval following Robert Lewandowski's 18th-minute opener from the penalty spot but showed the grit and determination required to turn both the game and the tie on its head. Fred brought United level just two minutes after the interval before Antony, who had stepped off the bench at half-time to replace Wout Weghorst, curled home the winner with 17 minutes of normal time left on the clock.
