Happy enough with LASK, short enough trip, not to be underestimated all the same, currently top in the Austrian league and knocked out AZ Alkmaar last night.

Belgian league leaders followed by Austrian League leaders. Decent draw though.

We were the highest ranked team left in the competition. LASK were the lowest.

Some luck. The football gods are smiling on us.

Hope we make quick work of it in the first leg when they've got two of their centrebacks out. Don't piss about with Lingard and Pereira again.

Hopefully we get through this one, get a decent enough draw in the last 8 and we may have Rashford back for the semi finals if we get that far.

Yeah when I turned on Eurosport 2 and saw him doing the draw I felt we were getting Inter/Wolves/Sevilla/Roma but very happy with that

We were joint favourites with Inter before the draw. Now...

Couldn't have asked for a better tie overall.

Drew the least ranked size.
Austria is not too far of a trip.
Getafe vs Inter.
Olympiakos vs Wolves.
Sevilla vs Roma.

:cool:

Madness how LASK have turned things around. I remember them getting relegated to the third Austrian league due to financial reasons about 5 years ago. Didn't even realize they were back in the top division before this season and now they're playing United in the knockouts.
Their fans must be in heaven.
The Austrian Wolves.

You mean they were ranked in LASK place?

Random austrian team? Love it. Great draw. Sevilla-Roma and Getafe-Inter drawn together is nice too.

Inter are joint favourites with United.
I fail to see how Inter could be so determined to win this. They could still win Serie A (6 pts off top with game in hand) and they are more or less guaranteed to finish in the CL spots as they are well clear of 4th place Atalanta.

We could do with them staying in close contention for the Scudetto. That way they will surely take one eye off the Europa.

Very happy with that drawing, although Lask are having a very good season are are probably a bit better than Club Brugge. Can´t complain about Spanish and Italian teams being drawn against each other either.

I'm not too sure, Brugge have already beaten them twice this season, though it was very early on

Fantastic. Looking at potential last 8 teams should we progress, this competition should be a priority.

CL and a trophy for ole would be fantastic.
