Manchester United are about to learn their Europa League fate for the coming season and fans will find out the destination of some upcoming European away trips.
United are in the Europa League draw, which takes place today. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping his side can reach the latter stages of the tournament, with a Champions League spot for 2020/21 on offer for its winners.
The 48 teams in the competition, all of whom have now been confirmed following last night's final round of play-offs (see below for each one), will be split into four seeding pots based on their co-efficients.
United are guaranteed to be in Pot 1 and will be joined by a team from each of the other three pots. There will be 12 groups of four in all, with the teams ranging from European giants like United, Sevilla, Roma and Porto (all in Pot 1), to minnows like Hungarian side Ferencvaros and Austrian duo LASK and Wolfsberger AC (all Pot 4).
United cannot be drawn with another English team in their group. — though one of them, Arsenal, are also a Pot 1 team anyway. Wolves are in Pot 3.
Games will be played on six matchdays: September 19th, October 3rd, October 24th, November 7th, November 28th and December 12th.
