EUROPA LEAGUE DRAW: Man United in easy group, Arsenal face tough task
Former
Former Europa League champions Manchester United have been drawn in Group L of this season’s competition along with FC Astana (Kazakhstan), Partizan Belgrade (Serbia), and AZ Alkmaar (Holland).
United, who won the competition in 2017, failed to finish in the top four in the Premier League last season, hence their failure to make the Champions League for this season.
They will not hope to win this year’s edition to book a guaranteed place in next season’s Champions League.
