Manchester United were drawn against Villarreal, which was against competition rules, given both were paired together in the group stage and then the Red Devils were included in the draw to face Atletico Madrid
UEFA are assessing whether they must perform the Champions League last 16 draw all over again after a major cock-up.
Manchester United were drawn against Villarreal, which was against competition rules, given both were paired together in the group stage.
Villarreal were then drawn against Manchester City, but it appears United's ball was not put back into the relevant pot, enabling them to be drawn against Atletico Madrid, who were the next team picked out.
Giorgio Marchetti, overseeing the draw, could be heard to say: “For Atletico Madrid, the possibilities are all except Liverpool, who were in the same group and Manchester United. Manchester United have already been drawn.”
A senior UEFA source has told Mirror Football they are looking into the episode and whether the draw must be performed again, to preserve the integrity of the competition.

I don't know who is afraid between Man utd and PSG. This draw has already happened so they should accept it with fate. For you to win a champions league you must beat strong teams so let's move on. I know Chelsea cannot be drawn with PSG after coming second in their group, I would have wanted us to exchange with Man utd. This is the type of draw that can bring the best out of your players. So, Man utd relax. Whether fixed or not fixed you can do it.

Look Messi is goat in his own special way so as Ronaldo in his own special way but remember one cannot be a goat without the help of team members Messi has the best team members whiles Ronaldo’s team struggles a little bit so of course psg can easily win the match even if utd has a goat

It's not about drawing against PSG. It's about drawing against Villarreal, a team we already had in the group stage. Then removing Athletico from the draw stating Villarreal is Spanish team so United can't face Athletico
