Pot four: Astana
Who? Exactly. The might Astana became the first ever team from Kazakhstan to reach the group stages of the Champions League last night courtesy of their 2-1 aggregate victory over Cypriot side APOEL.
But they will likely find themselves out of their depth against some of the biggest clubs on the planet, with their only saving grace that they will be completely unknown to their opposition.
There are a few unpleasant away trips that potentially face United – so they would probably also be glad to be drawn alongside Gent – who pipped Brugge to the Belgian Pro League title last season.
