Manchester United will be participating in the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League season, and the Red Devils have been drawn alongside PSV Eindhoven, VfL Wolfsburg and CSKA Moscow.
Man United have escaped a horror draw, while there’s no doubt the trio have the quality to cause the Premier League side some problems.
Chelsea has been placed in Group G with Porto, Dynamo Kyiv and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
Arsenal and Manchester City were not as fortunate, with the Gunners facing Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, Man City takes on last year’s runners-up Juventus, as well as Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Despite the Red Devils’ seemingly easy road, not everybody thinks the Red Devils’ advancement into the second round is a foregone conclusion.
