Manchester United vs Real Betis, Arsenal vs Sporting
It seems Spanish sides have no love lost with United as Betis will be the third team from La Liga to have booked an encounter with the Red Devils. Real Sociedad and Barcelona already got the taste of English flavour and it remains to be seen how United fares in this particular fixture.
Arsenal will also have a tough task as Sporting Lisbon does boast a pretty healthy record in recent times. The Gunners skipped the playoff round as they topped Group A having won six out of five matches.
The North Londoners will travel to Estadio Jose Alvalade in the first leg on March 9 and Betis will travel to Manchester on March 16. United will host their Spanish opponent on 9th March and is scheduled to take on Betis at Estadio Benito VillamarÃn on March 16.
Among other fixtures, 6-time Europa League winners Sevilla will entertain Turkish side Fenerbahce. Juventus got a tricky fixture in SC Freiburg while AS Roma will be up against Real Sociedad.
