Since Manchester United confirmed their top four finish in the Premier League, many of the club's fans have been keeping a keen eye on what has been going on in the league around Europe as the season comes to a close.
As only three English teams earn automatic places in the Champions League group stage for next season, the fourth placed club must qualify, and often these qualifiers can prove to be tricky ties.
In recent weeks the idea that United could face a team like Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, or Ajax has been floated about, but now that the leagues have finished we know how United may face thanks to the seedings based on the UEFA co-efficient:
Sporting Lisbon
CSKA Moscow
Lazio
Club Brugge
AS Monaco
Young Boys
Sparta Prague
Fenerbache
Panathinaikos
Rapid Vienna
Lazio, Monaco, Sporting Lisbon and CSKA Moscow immediately stand out as fixtures the Old Trafford faithful will be hoping to avoid, but the rest are no pushovers either.
Rapid Vienna and Young Boys have been earmarked as the most favourable potential draw, which will take place on August 7 in Nyon.
