The stage is set for an exciting Europa League last-16 clash as Manchester United lock horns with Spanish side Real Sociedad.

Meanwhile, Tottenham have been drawn against Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar, setting up a high-intensity battle, while Rangers face a blockbuster encounter with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

If United advance, they will go head-to-head with either Romanian giants FCSB or French club Lyon in the quarter-finals. Spurs, on the other hand, could face either Eintracht Frankfurt or Ajax if they progress. Rangers will have to navigate past Roma or Athletic Bilbao should they get through their Turkish test.
