Europa League quarter final draw

Manchester United secured their place in the quarter finals of this year's Europa League competition last night, beating FC Rostov 2-1 on aggregate. With some strong teams still in the competition, it will not be easy, but Jose Mourinho's team will fancy their chances of European glory come May. Seven nations are represented in the final eight, with only Belgium having more than one club still in the competition. 

The draw for the next round of the competition was made in Nyon, Switzerland at midday on Friday, ahead of the quarter final first leg ties, which will be played Thursday 13th April, before the return fixture the following week. 

Here is the quarter final draw for the 2016/17 Europa League:

Anderlecht v Manchester United

Celta Vigo v Genk

Ajax v Schalke

Lyon v Besiktas

The Red Devils will believe that they can overcome Anderlecht, especially with the second leg back at Old Trafford. Despite all of their success, Manchester United have never won the Europa League, or Uefa Cup as it was formerly known as. Jose Mourinho will be keen to change that statistic in his first season at the club
