FC Barcelona drawn against Manchester United in Europa League play-offs
Manchester United have been drawn against FC Barcelona in the Europa League knockout play-off round.
The Catalan giants have dropped down into the competition after failing to get out of their Champions League group, but now provide a stern test for Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils who finished second in their Europa League group.
United will travel to the Nou Camp on 16 February for the first leg of the tie, with the return at Old Trafford taking place on 23 February.
The Red Devils have some fond memories of the Nou Camp, having completed the 1999 treble in the stadium with a last-gasp victory over Bayern Munich in that year’s Champions League final.
Arsenal, who won their Europa League group, have already progressed to the last 16 of the competition.
The pick of the other ties sees six-time winners Sevilla facing Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, Serie A giants Juventus take on Ligue 1 team Nantes, while Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma face RB Salzburg.
Europa League knockout play-off round:
- Barcelona v Manchester United
- Juventus v Nantes
- Sporting Lisbon v Midtjylland
- Shakhtar Donetsk v Stade Rennais
- Ajax v Union Berlin
