Possible Champions League opponents for Manchester United revealed

Manchester United's possible Champions League playoff opponents have been confirmed.

Louis van Gaal led the Red Devils to a fourth-placed finish in last year's Premier League, meaning they must play in a qualifying round before entering the group stages.

They will take on either CSKA Moscow, Lazio, Club Brugge, Monaco or Rapid Vienna in a two-legged tie.

It looks like a favourable selection of teams for Van Gaal's chargers - with Champions League regulars Monaco seemingly posing the biggest threat to their progression.

The five clubs have come from a group 10 initial possible opponents, which also included Sporting Lisbon, Sparta Prague, Young Boys, Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce.
