Europa League update

In the other game of big interest to the Reds, Real Sociedad are in the box seat in their two-legged tie with Midtjylland after securing a 2-1 away victory in Denmark.

Brais Mendez's spot-kick and Takefusa Kubo's effort handed the team from La Liga a convincing advantage.

Although Adam Buksa pulled one back, La Real will fancy their chances of completing the job next week.

The reverse fixtures take place on Thursday 20 February, with the draw being staged on the following day at 12:00 GMT in Nyon, Switzerland.

Tottenham cannot face United in the next round as the Lilywhites are placed on the other side of the draw.
