We’ve had shite luck with cup draws this season and I don’t expect that to change tomorrow. I think we’ll get Barcelona or one of the English teams.

Whichever way it goes, I can see Spurs getting Ajax and Ajax beating them over the two legs.

City vs Juventus would be the tie of the round. Can’t see Uefa not making this happen. It would be quite the battle to witness :drool:

Other than City, I wouldn't be that arsed by an English team draw.

Not saying it's a gimme but on current form, we'd definitely have a good chance. We'd have a chance v City too (less though) but I want them playing Barca.

Given where we were three months ago (and where we were 8 days ago), happy to be in the draw :)

Ideal is City v Barca, Spurs v Ajax, Liverpool v Juve, us v Porto.

Oh, absolutely. Thrilled to be in the draw myself but at this stage, it’s only natural to start plotting ways to the final and every fan hopes for the easiest passage possible. I don’t want to face any English team just yet if I’m honest (they’re all ahead of us in the table for a reason) and it would be soul-crushing to exit by their hand.

My prediction:

Barca vs. Juventus
Spurs vs. Ajax
Liverpool vs. Porto

and... United vs. City - big call I know, but I think our terrible luck with cup draws will overpower City's unbelievable fortune in cup draws.

I'm sure we'll see Messi vs. Ronaldo at some point, so I'm predicting that for the next round.

Pretty inevitable we'll get all English tie in this round I think.

Just wondering which of the three Man. United would most/least like to meet. I'm obviously guessing City to avoid and Spurs you'd quite fancy over two legs.

Keep that prediction to yourself, nightmare scenario.

Hope City get Barcelona. I think we have a fair chance versus any of the rest.

I want essentially anyone but an English team. it's slightly less special playing them in these games rather than a team from another country and I wouldn't be that confident about playing any of them, they're all ahead of us for a reason (although I would say we would probably be favourites against Tottenham now). Anyone else would be OK, if it's Barca or Juve then we would be underdogs but I don't think it would be beyond us to beat either of them and the two legs would be brilliant occasions while if it's Ajax or Porto then I would confidently back United to get through.

It's not the Europa league draw is it ha..
United will be getting a tough draw. Them City bsrtds better get a tougher draw in some competition. As much as I hate Liverpool they have played some big sides this time around.

At this point in the game it doesn't matter who we get. All those teams are quality
Sure, but the gulf in quality between Porto and the likes of City Barcelona, Juventus and Liverpool is pretty maasive.

There is a 22.86% chance that every English club plays a non-English opponent in the 1/4 finals.

If Utd have to play one hope it’s not city.

I've seen this a few times, but people don't actually believe that do they?


I mean sure, everyone else is good but City are clearly a big step above the likes of Ajax and Porto.

Spurs I'd fancy us against but I'd be knowing it will be very difficult. City I'd say is the one I want least and Liverpool I actually would fancy us to edge it out but the build-up would be too much to take.

With the luck we've had with draws this season I fully expect us to get either Liverpool or City.

My dream draw would probably look like this;

United - Porto
City - Juventus
Liverpool - Barcelona
Tottenham - Ajax
