When is the Europa League quarter-final draw and who can Manchester United play?

Manchester United have secured their spot in the last eight of the Europa League after completing an aggregate victory over Real Betis.

Erik ten Hag's side won 1-0 in Spain on Thursday night thanks to a Marcus Rashford goal to complete a 5-1 aggregate success following the 4-1 win at Old Trafford. United, who won the competition in 2017 under Jose Mourinho and were beaten finalists in 2021, now take their place in Friday's draw.

United have already claimed the Carabao Cup this season and face Fulham in the last eight of the FA Cup this weekend as they seek a cup treble. Ten Hag and his side will be keen to add a European trophy this term and are among the favourites for the competition.
