We simulated Europa League quarter-final and semi-final draws as Man United handed tough ties

Manchester United will find out who they will face in the quarter-finals and potentially the semi-finals of the Europa League when the draws are conducted at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon this lunchtime.

United, who previously won the competition back in 2017, progressed to the last-eight with a 1-0 win over Real Betis in the second leg of their last-16 tie at the Benito Villamarin Stadium last night. A brilliant second-half strike from Marcus Rashford sealed a 5-1 aggregate victory for Erik ten Hag's side, meaning they could still end the season with three major trophies.

United rode their luck in the first half in Spain, proving too loose in possession and offering Betis more sights of goal than Ten Hag would have liked. Nevertheless, they got their act together after the break and Rashford's moment of brilliance killed off Betis' hopes of a famous comeback.
