Tottenham will face Dinamo Zagreb, while Arsenal are once again paired with Olympiakos in Europe.

MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE been drawn against scudetto-chasing AC Milan in the last 16 of the Europa League, a tie which is set to see former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic return to Old Trafford in its first leg on 11 March and welcome his former team-mates to the San Siro a week later.

Rangers will face Leicester City’s conquerors from Thursday night, Slavia Prague, in the round of 16.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Rangers will all play away in their first legs before hosting their opponents on 18 March.
