The Europa League round of 16 draw took place today and Manchester United drew with AC Milan, and a familiar face will make his return to Old Trafford, Zlatan Ibrahimović.
United will play the first leg at home, which is scheduled for March 11. The return leg will be played on March 18.
AC Milan is second in Serie A, they have yet to win the Europa League, while United’s only win was in 2017, so on paper this will be a fantastic showdown and possibly the toughest opponent than United could face in the tournament.
Speaking of the draw, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær told the club’s media:
“It’s one of those draws again that you feel like it could be a Champions League game. It’s good for us to have these games to look forward to. This team needs challenges and we enjoy challenges and accept them … Zlatan, of course, has impressed me so much, I have to say, how his career has gone. He had a career-threatening injury when he was here, but he came back from that and went to MLS, then he came back to Milan and has really improved them. “
