Manchester United have been drawn against Belgian side Anderlecht in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Jose Mourinho’s men, who defeated Rostov 2-1 on aggregate in the last 16 stage, will have home advantage in the second match of the two-legged tie.
The Spanish Primera Liga have dominated the competition in recent years, with four of the past five Europa Leagues won by three-time defending champions Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.
Celta Vigo are Spain’s lone representative left in the draw and they take on the other Belgian side in the competition, Genk.
