Man United’s possible Champions League group of death

Man United’s possible Champions League group of death

The draw for the group stage of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League takes place this evening in Montecarlo, Monaco. The draw will take place at 6PM local time and the pot bandings were officially released last night as the final qualifiers came to a close.
 
The pots are as follows:
 
FIRST POT: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus, Lokomotiv Moscow, PSG and Manchester City
 
SECOND POT:  Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Manchester United, Shakhtar, Napoli, Benfica, Tottenham and Roma
 
THIRD POT: Liverpool, Schalke, Lyon, Monaco, Valencia, PSV, Ajax and CSKA Moscow
 
FOURTH POT:   Young Boys, Red Star, Viktoria Plzen, Club Brugge, Galatasaray, Inter, Hoffenheim and AEK Athens
 
Manchester United find themselves in the second pot for the draw, meaning that they are guaranteed to face off against one of the extremely unforgiving first pot and one of the tricky teams from the third pot, and, potentially, could even find themselves drawn against Inter Milan from the fourth pot.
 
Worst case scenario? Real Madrid, Mancheter United, Monaco, Inter.
