EUROPA: United draw Astana, Arsenal Frankfurt

Manchester United face trips to Kazakhstan and Serbia in the Europa League group stages after being drawn against Astana and Partizan while Arsenal will take on last season’s semi-finalists Eintracht Frankfurt following the draw in Monaco.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side’s Group L line up is completed by Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar, but the Red Devils still face two daunting trips across Europe which could play a part in their bid for domestic success as the season wears on.

The Gunners’ group, meanwhile, is completed by Standard Liege of Belgium and Vitoria Guimaraes of Portugal as Unai Emery looks to go one better and win the competition following their defeat to Chelsea in the final last season.

Defeat in Baku saw the north London outfit miss out on qualification for the Champions League, but after a strong summer in the transfer window Emery’s side begin the tournament as one of the favourites.
