United have found themselves in the Europa League after finishing third behind Wolfsburg and PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League group. It is the second time in four years they have dropped into the competition.

Spurs avoided sides eliminated from the Champions League but will face a stern test against Fiorentina, who are flying high in second place in Serie A.

Liverpool's opponents Augsburg are not enjoying such a successful season, and are 13th in the Bundesliga, but manager Jurgen Klopp will undoubtedly relish facing opposition from his homeland.

Other notable ties in the round include Borussia Dortmund v Porto, Villarreal v Napoli, Sporting Lisbon v Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray v Lazio.
