Manchester United have been drawn into the Champions League Group of Death – after being joined by Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig.

Coming out of the pot of second seeds, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been drawn into easily the toughest group of all: Group H.

As well as facing the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, United must also take on German giants RB Leipzig if they are to progress to the knockout stages.

Solskjaer’s side will also face Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir in the 2020-21 Group of Death.

Meanwhile, Chelsea were given one of the easier groups, facing Sevilla in Group E.

However, Frank Lampard’s side must endure a long trip to Russian side Krasnodar, while also facing Champions League debutants Rennes.
