Manchester United will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last-16 stage.

The first leg will be played at Old Trafford on February 12, 13, 19 or 20 with the second leg at Parc des Princes three weeks later on March 5, 6, 12 or 13.

United and PSG have never faced each other in a competitive fixture.

Despite winning the competition in recent memory, United are considered outsiders to triumph this season after struggling in both European competition and domestically this season.

A draw with Valencia and loss to Juventus in matchday two and three looked to put United's chances of progression in doubt, only for a late double salvo in Turin, followed by another last-gasp goal against Young Boys to secure a knockout stage place.

United finished the group stage with a record of three wins, one draw and two losses.

Since last reaching the final in 2010-11, United have progressed past the last-16 stage just once, failed to progress from their group twice and missed out on the competition altogether once.

Olympiacos were beaten in 2013-14 before Bayern Munich knocked out United. Last season, Sevilla eliminated United, while Real Madrid were victors in 2012-13.
