Manchester United have been drawn against La Liga leaders Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League knockout stages.

Elsewhere, standout ties include struggling Arsenal against Portuguese club Benfica, Lille against Ajax, and Olympiacos versus PSV.

The first leg will be played on 18 February, with the final touted for 26 May at the Gdańsk City Stadium in Poland.

The teams that dropped out of the Champions League into the Europa League this season, due to their position in their Champions League group, are Dynamo Kyiv, Club Brugge, Real Sociedad, Manchester United, Salzburg, Krasnodar, Shakhtar Donetsk, Ajax and Olympiacos.
