Manchester United's reward for a third-place Premier League finish last season is a return to Champions League football - but it won't be easy.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Old Trafford revolution needed a return a the top table of the European game, and United will be tasked with pushing on this term.

United have won the European Cup three times before, and while they will be outsiders to take the crown off of Bayern Munich in 2020-21, Solskjaer and his side have built a reputation for beating big sides on the counter.

The Red Devils enter this season's competition at the group stages, and were seeded in pot two in Thursday's draw.

Unfortunately for Solskjaer, United have been pitted in a 'Group of Death' against Paris Saint-Germain, RB Leipzig and Istanbul Basaksehir.
