Europa League draw: Man Utd face reunion with Robin van Persie
Last updated on .From the section Football

Manchester United will face Fenerbahce, Feyenoord and Zorya Luhansk in the group stage of the Europa League.
It pits United against their former striker Robin van Persie, who is now with Fenerbahce.
Southampton, the other Premier League side still in the competition, will play Inter Milan, Sparta Prague and Hapoel Beer Sheva.
League of Ireland side Dundalk have been drawn with Zenit St Petersburg, AZ Alkmaar and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
The match dates for the group stage are 15 and 29 September, 20 October, 3 and 24 November, and 8 December.
United boss Jose Mourinho said he knew little about Ukrainian opponents Zorya, whose home ground is close to the Russian border, meaning they will play their fixtures 500 miles away in Odessa.
But welcomed being drawn with Fenerbahce and Feyenoord, who will have a reduced capacity at their De Kuip stadium due to trouble at previous games.
"We all know the competition is not the same as the Champions League but to have Manchester United playing against clubs with tradition like Fenerbahce and Feyenoord is good for us," he said.
"We know that it will be a difficult group, but I think that is a good thing. It is good for the fans and for the players because it will help motivation."

Did McNulty write this?
Ps :Break a leg is an idiom used to wish "good luck".
I'm amazed people still don't get this.
This article has obviously been written because was one of the best strikers the Premier league has seen and just so happens to be a former Manchester United player.
If Bale comes back against spurs, they'd have done the same article!
so in full it should read - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37196269/comments
worked for me
I noticed the same thing. Just because it's down marked doesn't mean its not true though.
Some penalty indecisions at White Hart Lane. Coutinho is playing despite not being named in the provisional squad. Fantasy players will be gutted. Still all even
Lewis is not caring about qualifying seeing as he has a 55 grid penalty, couple of cars are out. Wow a fantastic 3rd Quali
Nas, Oco,Kyv, Eri the outs
Still nil all at White Hart Lane, not really following. F1 qualifying is starting at Spa. C'mon Daniel.
Leicester got an easier group in the CL but still don't think they will progress. City Barca and Celtic is like dejavu
I really think CFC have stuffed up making Conte manager. He's a muppet
Anyway, a new round of the PL is about to start, and we have qualifying from Spa later on.
I feel Utd will have a good shot at the Europa League and don't think RVP will have a lot to offer with Fenerbache
When posters know to open the comments in a new tab they can comment, but nobody else can.
Might report this comment and tell the moderators.
Most people commenting on here are just the usual moaners, so if there are any actual fans, there posts will probably get drowned in the usual Salford bias crap.
Most United fans don't really care too much whether we win it or not, so nothing has actually changed there. Myself, I see it as good practice for the likes of Depay and Rashford, but not as a serious competition.
