We were never getting an easy draw were we, play at our best and we win but certainly not the ideal fixture sandwiched in between a tough league schedule.

So we drew finalists and semi finalists in the group stage of the Champions League, 5 of the top 7 in the domestic cups, the toughest possible draw the last time and now this? Luck, eh?

If we go through surely we'll get one of the weaker sides in quarter. Law of averages you would imagine. Psg leipzig Liverpool West ham Leicester and AC Milan.

My guess for quarters would be

United
Arsenal
Tottenham
Slavia Prague
Shakhtar
Ajax
Granada
Villareal

Can see us facing Jose one way or another

United vs Milan is a spectacle to say the least, can’t have been many games in the Europa League over the years which have been played between two huge clubs like these, this should have been a UCL knockout match. Nonetheless can’t help but feel frustrated by our luck in the cup draws.

Still think we will win the tie though. Milan are very good in serie A this year but I think we are better.

Magical Manchester United.
Milan have been crap lately and were incredibly lucky against Red Star. I definitely back us to go through, though the schedule around the Milan games looks horrific.

That is so annoying. My head chef is a huge Milan fan and we definitely would've gone over for the match if it wasn't for Covid.

Would have preferred a Rangers or Molde. Nice storyline to keep things interesting but not very good teams. I'm not too bothered about the EL, so Milan is a pretty exciting tie. I think this means we probably won't see the likes of Amad get a start at all now this season which is a shame.

Also, will Dalot be available for Milan?

FFS!
This is getting to the point of being ludicrous now.
United get AC Milan, Tottenham get Dinamo Zagreb.
That's about as predictable as you can get.
Absolutely fuming about it.

Milan were lucky, very lucky to go through yesterday. If we turn up with a strong team, we should beat them (as it is right now).

1 win between us in this competition I think
I meant United and Milan are two of the most successful clubs in the world (which automatically means most successful out of all the others involved in this competition).

Happy with Milan.

I'd far rather play the bigger sides. Makes it more interesting.

Zlatan vs Lindelof should be a laugh.

They're second in the league, although they've lost 3 of their last 5, with losses against Inter, Atalanta, and Spezia.
Yeah but it's Serie A which is pretty shit.

Have people seen Milans form recently?? Its awful!!

They are a good team sure, but we should absolutely be beating them home and away.

No question its not an easy draw, but certainly glad we stayed clear of any English teams.

Milan have fallen off significantly lately and just about scraped through by the skin of their teeth against Red Star. They also still are very much in the title race in Italy.

But they still need to be respected. It will be a lot more difficult than Real Sociedad.
