United - the 2017 winners - are now 7/5 favourites to win the competition, according to Oddschecker, and will play Spanish side Granada in the Quarter Finals.
The winners of that game will face Ajax - the 1992 winners from the Netherlands who United beat in 2017's final - or Italian outfit AS Roma, in the Semi-Finals.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will face Slavia Praha from the Czech Republic, who knocked out another British team, Glasgow Rangers, in the previous round.
The London side are at 23/10 and remain second-favourites for their first-ever Europa League title, after finishing as runners-up in 2000 and 2019.
