Manchester United face Atletico Madrid after re-draw of Champions League

Manchester United face Atletico Madrid after re-draw of Champions League

Manchester United will now face Atletico Madrid in the last-16 of the Champions League after a re-draw in Switzerland this afternoon.

The initial draw was deemed null and void after a mistake that UEFA called a "technical error." Officials said there was a malfunction in the software which advises which teams can and cannot be paired together. Manchester United were mistakenly drawn with Paris Saint Germain, which would have seen Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi meet once again.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are now set to face Serie A champions Inter Milan,
Chelsea will take on Ligue 1 winners Lille - having also gotten them in the first draw as well,
and Manchester City will meet Sporting Lisbon.

Arguably the pick of the ties will see PSG and Real Madrid face off.
