United face French test in Europa League

Saint-Etienne will be Manchester United's opponents in the round of 32 of the Europa League.

The draw on Monday paired the Reds with the French club for the first time since the sides met in the 1977/78 European Cup Winners' Cup. United progressed after playing the second leg at a neutral venue, Plymouth's Home Park.

Paul Pogba's older brother Florentin plays for les Verts, who currently lie in eighth spot in the Ligue 1 table.

Jose Mourinho's men finished in second spot in Group A behind Fenerbahce so were not seeded, meaning the home tie at Old Trafford comes first on Thursday 16 February with the second leg in the following week.
