'It's a fix!' - Manchester United fans furious following UEFA Champions League draw error

Manchester United's glamour Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain has been thrown into doubt almost immediately following a controversial last-16 draw on Monday.

United found themselves on the seeded side of the draw after winning Group F, meaning they stood a greater chance of landing a favourable tie.

However, at the second time of asking, Ralf Rangnick's troops were been pitted up against the 2020 runners-up for the third time in the last four seasons.

But there was a huge moment of controversy as the draw was made, which saw United picked to face Villarreal before being eventually put back into play and then drawn against PSG.

Unsurprisingly, that moment sparked quite a reaction from the United supporters watching on TV and they immediately took to social media to react to the mistake.

Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what some of them had to say.

As you can see from the messages displayed in the tweets above, United's supporters are furious with what happened, with some describing the draw as being "rigged" a "joke" and a "fix."

It remains to be seen if the whole draw needs to be redone.

MEN Sport have contacted UEFA for comment.
