Imagine being that brainwashed as a football fan to drool for magical top 4 finish, just so your team cant be in specific part of groups due TV rights, what a joke competition.
Champions League Draw | 17:00 CET | United, PSG, Leipzig, Istanbul

- Start date
What a crap group to be in. Worst draw to be honest.
At least we'll have some big matches incoming.

Tough group, but anything can happen. The others also have to play each other. PSG’s attack especially if Neymar and Mbappe are in form will probably be too much for us but we could still get something out of those games. In the other games we should be fine.
Not only that, it leaves us with zero room for rotation, we basically have to field our strongest eleven every game and that's going to be a big problem unless we sign more players before the window shuts.
You're fighting a losing battle there
Honestly I swear to God, I used to consider myself a glass half full fan until I joined the Caf and saw how miserable some people can be
At least we can scout Dayot more closely now.
city aren’t anything close to what they used to be. The 8th best team in France beat city 3-1. So yeah, epl is on a downturn right Now. Champions league is a different beast.
Tough draw but what do you expect in pot 2 of the CL? We’re weirdly better against good attacking sides as they give us more space for our front three to exploit so it’s not the end of the world, albeit we’re unlucky to be drawn against last seasons finalists and semi finalists. Would think it’s between us and Leipzig for 2nd spot.
By the way, just look at the state of that draw for City and Chelsea again! I swear It feels like City get an easy CL group every season and I’m surprised Chelsea didn’t get Scunthorpe at home!! Liverpool’s group is harder than it looks but they’ll still qualify fine. Funny to see Midget Land back!

For some of this lot the glass is smashed and it's just a big puddle on the floor
After calming down, I do believe we do have a chance. Rb lepizeg does not have a better team than us. They have a better manager, but the manager is not in the starting eleven. We can get at least 4 points from them. Beat Istanbul twice and maybe get 1 points from psg.
And given our squad depth, we will be fresh as new by then
Messi v Ronaldo in Group G
First team to score after full time in football history, so why not?
Messi vs Ronaldo? It's about time in the CL...
Look on the bright side, we are probably going to need that Europa League win to get into Champions League again next season. Forget top four, we can finish where we want now and just constantly win Europa League and then drop back into it each year, only need to win about 10 games a year if that, it's the perfect strategy.
Well we did score after the final whistle, who knows what’s possible.
not if Sevilla is in Europa. They are god tier in that tournament
Good news. Wonder when tickets will go on sale for ours?
I think we have a chance. Leipzig is not a powerhouse and are similar if not a step below us. PSG.....you just don't know what you will get form them. But the other opponents we should do well with.
I know there's an agenda against Liverpool but how are people calling their group the easiest group in history. Ajax champions league semi finalists in 17/18 and a minute from being a finalist and Atlanta knocked out by PSG in stoppage time only a couple of months ago in the Bfs. They were in pot 1 they should be drawing easier teams
????
Surely you mean City, no? Liverpool should qualify but Ajax and Atalanta are hardly pushovers.
That will still be subject to the restrictions of each Government. Ours have not allowed fans to attend matches. They already are at Leipzig and PSG. No away fans allowed. All this does is give us an unfair disadvantage.
UEFA can overrule government now?
Eh?
Not sure why you guys are so concerned. PSG were the ones that crumbled against you, so that's not necessarily a guaranteed 6 points for them. Leipzig are good but not really any better than you are, and the Turkish side lose a lot with no or reduced fan support, so I see no reason why Man Utd can't get out of that group.
It does say subject to local laws, but has the UK government actually outlawed it? Is it any different to people going to pubs as long as it’s one household sitting together etc?
No, because City have regressed majorly while Pool are a top 3 team in the world alongside Bayern and PSG. They’ll steamroll a much weakened Ajax without VdB, Ziyech, De Jong, De Ligt, Dest etc, Midgetland goes without saying and attacking teams like Atalanta with few truly quality players are the teams they mop up (see Salzburg last season). Considering all the factors, this group is piss easy for them.
Having 50% chance of getting out of the group not that great so, People have right to moan. Chelsea for example have 90% chance of getting through.
I think I did some analysis around a decade ago and on average 10 points for you through 50% of the time. The fewer losses, the better (so 2 wins 4 draws is better than 3 wins 1 draw).
9 points rarely gets you through
Guess I just fundamentally disagree. Liverpool's group can hardly be the easiest in human history when City got an easier group from the same draw despite being in a worse position, can it?
That's why they put "dependent on local laws"
There won't be any tickets for our home games.
UEFA allows fans, but only if it's not against the local laws.
UK government made it clear that there won't be a return of fans in 2020.
I wanted dortmund and leipzeg in our group. Mainly cause when Sancho and Upamencano have man of the match performances against us, the camera can pan to Woodward in the directors box. That would be priceless.
