Man United fans can't believe Chelsea's Champions League draw

Manchester United fans are not happy with today's Champions League group stage draw.

The group stage draw was made in Geneva today and it fell rather kindly for Chelsea, former Blues duo Didier Drogba and Florent Malouda - who pulled the balls out of the bowl - doing their old club a favour.

Chelsea drew Europa League winners Sevilla along with Krasnodar and new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy's former club Stade-Rennais.

But not everyone was so fortunate to have a group that - on paper - they should safely progress from.

Manchester United have been dealt the short straw, handed the 'group of death'.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men were placed in a group with last season's finalists PSG, German heavyweights RB Leipzig and İstanbul Başakşehir.

And United fans are not happy, particularly given the contrast with Chelsea's group.

The Champions League is set to kick off on October 20 but just who teams in matchday one will face is not known yet.

UEFA will release the full group stage fixture list on Friday.
