We simulated Manchester United's Europa League last 32 draw

Manchester United are one of four English clubs waiting to find out who they will draw in the Europa League knockout stage.

The Reds dropped into the competition after finishing third in their Champions League group and will discover on Monday who they will face when the competition resumes in February.

With nine points from six Champions League matches, United are one of four teams dropping into the competition that will be seeded with Europa League group winners, with the remaining four teams unseeded alongside group runners-up.

United are in the hat alongside Premier League rivals Arsenal, Spurs and Leicester City, all of whom advanced from their Europa League group.

The trio of sides all won their groups so are seeded alongside United, although clubs from the same country are unable to face each other yet, meaning there was no way they could have been drawn against each other anyway.

So who could the Reds get? We used a knockout stage simulator to determine the outcome of Monday's draw and it threw up these ties.
