Man Utd have been drawn against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals, with the advantage that the Reds are at home for the second leg of the all-English tie.
It's also a repeat, of course, of 2008's Moscow final in which United triumphed on penalties against the Blues at the city's Luznhiki Stadium. The Reds head to Stamford Bridge for the first leg on Wednesday 6 April and the second leg at OT on Tuesday 12 April.
The full quarter-final draw is as follows:
Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Inter Milan vs Schalke
The draw for the semi-finals was also made on Friday, meaning if United beat Chelsea then a tie against either Inter Milan or Schalke awaits Sir Alex’s men, again with the second tie being played at Old Trafford.
The semi-final draw is as follows:
Inter or Schalke vs Chelsea or United
Real Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur vs Barcelona or Shakhtar Donetsk
If Man Utd make it to the semi-finals then the first leg against Inter or Schalke will be away on Tuesday 26 April, with the return tie at Old Trafford on Wednesday 4 May. The final will, of course, be played at Wembley on 28 May.
