UNITED DISCOVER EUROPA LEAGUE ROUND OF 16 OPPONENTS

Manchester United and the rest of the teams finally got their minds at rest after the little anxious wait as regards their next opponents in the Europa league.

Jose Mourinho had previously stated his preferred opponents for the next round, placing Olympique Lyon as his dream destination due to the little travel distance between Manchester and Lyon. He also prayed against any "ogbanje" that will push his team to be paired against a Russian team for the same reason of distance.

Manchester United have learnt however that their opponents come in the form of Champions league drop-outs, FC ROSTOV.

Here's how the boss reacted; "It's a bad draw in every aspect," the manager admitted in his press conference at the Aon Training Complex on Friday. "It's far and is difficult. It's far and comes in a bad period for us. It's difficult because they are a very difficult team, they had a very good Champions League campaign".

We do hope such a negative reaction is solely because of the travel stress and not a cause for alarm as we expect our warriors of Stretford end to survive the Europa adventure like "Igodos".

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
