MANCHESTER UNITED have a tricky group after being drawn in Group A.
They’ve been drawn alongside Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
United’s clash with Bayern will see them come face to face with former top striker target Harry Kane in the group stage clash.
Rasmus Hojlund will come up against former club FC Copenhagen and United will also face a tricky trip to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
The competition will kick off after the upcoming international break with matchday one beginning on September the 19th.
United are back in Europe’s biggest competition after failing to qualify for last year’s Champions League.

Their tumultuous 2021/22 season saw them finish sixth under interim manager Ralf Rangnick and only qualify for last year’s Europa League.
There, they would ultimately crash out to Sevilla in the quarter-finals despite beating LaLiga champions Barcelona on the way to reach the quarters.
Returning to this year’s Champions League represented a major success for Erik Ten Hag in his first season in charge at United.
The club comfortably secured their return to Europe’s biggest stage by finishing third in the Premier League.

Ten Hag also brought silverware to United for the first time since Jose Mourinho’s Europa League victory in 2017 with victory in the Carabao Cup.
United have strengthened their squad since then, adding new goalkeeper Andre Onana, Mason Mount and striker Rasmus Hojlund in the hope of challenging for the biggest honours this season.
It’s been a mixed start to the season for the Red Devils so far this season, however.
They emerged with a 1-0 victory in their opening day clash against Wolves despite not being the better side and followed that up with a 2-0 defeat away at Tottenham.
United returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest but even that came after United fell two goals behind in the opening five minutes.
Ten Hag will be hoping to further bolster his options by the time United play their first Champions League fixture, as a deal for Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat remains in the works.
The club would also like to add another forward before the end of the window, after Ten Hag initially counted on bringing Mason Greenwood back into the fold.
