Another tough draw, City again with a good draw. Don't think I've ever seen a team get as many easier draws as City have had this year.

I've seen very little of Barca this year although led to believe their not at the level as previous teams.

City's draws in the league Cup were equally suspicious!

They definitely not of the vintage of 4/5 years ago but formidable none the less..

The best teams always seem to get the handiest draws.  I remember Utd under fergie.  It was likec they hand picked each draw.  Shoe definitely on the other foot now with city

In 99 United had Bayern & Barca in their group and beat Inter in the quarter final and Juve in the semi final;
United had to beat Liverpool, Chelsea & Liverpool to get to the cup final in 99 too.

Oh Christ, the Solskjaer back in the new camp references will be f**king unbearable.

Wouldn't matter who Utd got, along with spurs and Porto they would  be the weakest. After beating PSG anything is a bonus
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

United have beaten PSG, Arsenal, Chelsea & Spurs in their own backyards since xmas and would have beaten Liverpool only for bad luck with injuries.

United were the most inform team of 2019 until last week.

New manager with new ideas mixed in with great results, absolutely no reason to fear anyone in Europe.

League points won by the top 6 since Ole's appointment

Manchester United: 32 points from 13 games
Manchester City: 30 points from 13 games
Liverpool: 28 points from 13 games
Arsenal: 26 points from 13 games
Tottenham Hotspur: 22 points from 13 games
Chelsea: 20 points from 13 games

Makes for interesting reading. If United don't finish in the top 4 its because of just 26 points in 17 games before he arrived.
