The percentage probabilities of who Manchester United could end up facing in the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League have been revealed, showing that Ralf Rangnick's side are most likely to face a showdown with Atletico Madrid.
United booked their place in the last-16 with a game to spare, meaning Rangnick rotated his pack for their final Group F clash with Young Boys last Wednesday evening.
Despite signing off their group campaign with a bit of a whimper, United still did enough over the course of their six group games to nail top spot, meaning they will be on the favourable side of this morning's draw in Nyon.
Being on the favourable side of the draw means that United will avoid the prospect of having to go head-to-head with the likes of Bayern Munich or Real Madrid at this stage of the tournament.
However, they could still find themselves coming up against several big-name European giants, including Atletico, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan and Sporting Lisbon.
Nevertheless, according to MisterChips' algorithm, as cited by Si.com, United are most likely to end up facing Atletico in the round of 16, meaning they would find themselves pitted up against a well-drilled outfit that is always a tough nut to crack under Diego Simeone.
The probability of United facing the La Liga side, according to the mathematics, is 18.58 per cent, whilst their least likely encounter, according to the data, is with either Benfica or Sporting Lisbon, with those having a 14.9 per cent of happening.
Elsewhere, reigning Champions League holders Chelsea are most likely to end up facing Real Madrid, with the prospect of that happening ranked at 32.3 per cent, whilst City are most likely to end up going head-to-head with either Atletico or Villarreal, with that probability ranked at 18.5 per cent.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are most likely to end up locking horns with Villarreal, with that considered as having an 18.6 per cent chance of happening.
The draw for the last 16 will be made in Nyon this morning and it is scheduled to get underway at 11am GMT.
