Europa League draw

[Halfpenny]

Now the Europa Group Stage is done, these are the confirmed teams we can get (Stoke are off limits for the round of 32):

Rubin Kazan
Hannover 96
Legia Warsaw
Lazio
Salzburg
AZ Alkmaar
Braga
Udinese
Steaua Bucharest
Wisla Krakow
Lokomotiv Moscow
Trabzonspor
Ajax
Porto
Viktoria Plzen

Worst case scenario is probably Moscow in terms of travelling, wouldn't want to get them.

That looks difficult.

Europa League comes into its own at this point.

Most of those teams are better than Villareal, or the teams in Utd's Champions League group

On our day, there is nobody there over 2 legs we would even slightly struggle against. But then there are some long trips. For me it would be either Polish side (Wilsa Krakow or Legia warsaw), Ajax, Hannover or Salzburg. All them would be good trips.

We beat Salzburg with complete ease (2-0 away, 3-0 at home) last season so wouldn't mind them again. Even JO scored against them. :P

I don't know, Udinese, Porto, Lazio and possibly Ajax might be difficult.

 

[WNRH]

So if we both get to the final by avoiding each other, we would have to play 4 5pm games?

Joke, play the kids.

Ever since I saw their ground I've always wanted to play Braga.

I think Rubin Kazan is even further away than Moscow. Wouldn't mind Hannover, for no particular reason.

Ah yes, you're right. A trip to Russia would be far from ideal in either case. Wouldn't mind Ajax personally.
