Date published: 15 December 2015
MANCHESTER United will play Danish champions FC Midtjylland after dropping into the Europa League.
Louis van Gaal’s men, eliminated from the Champions League last week, were handed the tie in the draw for the last 32 of the second-tier competition at UEFA headquarters in Nyon.
Premier League rivals Liverpool were paired with German outfit Augsburg, while Tottenham were handed a rematch against their conquerors last season, Fiorentina. Gary Neville’s Valencia were drawn against Rapid Vienna.
