Roma, last season's Conference League winners, are facing Ludogorets and Real Betis with pot four to come. Mourinho's Roma and Copa del Rey winners Real Betis could produce some of the games of the round in Group D, while Monaco have been handed a particularly spicy proposition.

The second placed team in each group will play a knockout round against the third placed team in each Champions League group to determine the opponents for group winners. Mark McKenzie and Genk will have a good chance to advance from their group while if AZ Alkmaar can get out of the group stage fellow American Djordje Mihailovic who is heading from CF Montreal to the Netherlands in January will join him. For advancement, the top team in each group will automatically head to the round of 16. Joining the Red Devils are a Sheriff side that has defeated Real Madrid and Omonia. Arsenal have been drawn into what could shape up to be a tough group as group A contains PSV, Bodo/Glimt, and FC Zurich. Manchester United's job will be slightly easier getting out of group E as Alexander Isak seems to be Premier League bound, leaving a hole up top for Real Sociedad.
Man United, which won the Europa League in 2017 and was the beaten finalist two years ago, entered the second-tier competition by placing just sixth in the ...
The Europa Conference League title holder was drawn in a group with Ludogorets, Real Betis and HJK Helsinki. That’s about one-third of expected earnings in Champions League prize money. That is because of the World Cup in Qatar, which starts Nov. The Europa League starts early this season on Sept. Tiraspol is in the Russian-supporting breakaway region of Transnistria which borders Ukraine. It was unclear Friday if Cristiano Ronaldo will still be at the club for the first round of games on Sept.
Manchester United are back in the Europa League for the 2022/23 campaign. Here's who they will face in their group.
TBC Sevilla knocked them out of the 2020 semis and Villarreal won the 2022 final on penalties. May 11, 2023 If United finish top of their group after the six matches, they will advance directly to the round of 16 as a seeded team.

It will be fast and furious this season, with a condensed eight-week group stage in which clubs will play six matches between September 8 and November 3 to ...
[Celtic](https://theathletic.com/football/team/celtic-fc/) manager Neil Lennon, Omonia Nicosia will be the biggest unknown of group E. [Alexander Isak has now left for Newcastle United](https://theathletic.com/3540281/2022/08/26/alexander-isak-newcastle-transfer-record/) but Real Sociedad continue to play in a possession-based style. The Moldovan side are likely to play their away tie in the 10,400-seat Zimbru stadium in Chisinau, rather than the Sheriff sports area in the disputed region of Transnistria, but the journey, and opposition, are sure to be a challenge. He has often stressed the importance of a squad and assures us that no United player will feature in every game this season. Should that continue, it may be a case of Arsenal having to break down a team who sit back and hit them on the counter, which they did well in qualifying against Hearts. The 36-year-old continues to be a fine midfield operator, adding sparkle to a Sociedad side. Betis should represent a good step up for Roma, who won the Europa Conference League last season and made the semi-finals of this competition in 2021. One thing to note, however, is their season runs from April until November, so scheduling may also impact them depending on where they stand in the Eliteserien and whether their league campaign has finished. He is an intriguing forward as, despite mostly being used as a left winger, he seems to have the qualities of a centre-forward. The same is true, to a lesser extent, of SC Freiburg by the way. Corrigan: Manchester United should not be struggling to get out of a Europa League group but their draw is not a gimme. Union and St Gilloise in particular are two of Europe’s most interesting emerging clubs — there is a contrast between the Germans’ alternative community-driven progress and the Belgians’ numbers-driven rapid success but both will fancy their chances of going far in the competition.
Manchester United and Arsenal are set to learn their Europa League group-stage fate today as 32 teams are drawn into eight groups. The draw will take place ...
PSV will perhaps be considered Arsenal's strongest competition but they have been beaten over two legs by Leicester and Rangers in the last few months. A brace from Bruno Fernandes as well as goals from Marcus Rashford and Dan James helped United to a 4-0 first-leg win before closing out the tie with a goalless draw at Old Trafford. The other three teams in their group are Real Sociedad, Sheriff and Omonoia. They won the Eliteserien title in 2020 and made it all the way to the Europa Conference League quarter-final last term where they were knocked out by Roma. Have a read of the brilliant piece from Nick Miller below. But they didn't let that stop them having a go at escaping the group.
