Europa League Last 16 Set: Manchester United to Take on Real Sociedad, Rangers Match up Against Fenerbahce

The winner of this match will move on to face either Lyon or FCSB in the quarter-finals. FCSB suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to United in their last group stage game last month.

Fenerbahce will welcome beaten 2022 finalists Rangers to Istanbul for the first leg of their tie in a competition coach Mourinho won with United in 2017. He also won its predecessor, the UEFA Cup, as Porto boss in 2003.

If Fenerbahce win, Mourinho could come up in the quarter-finals against one of his old clubs in Roma, with whom he won the Europa Conference League in 2022.

However, Claudio Ranieri's Roma face a tough task in the last 16 against Athletic Bilbao, who are determined to go all the way to this season's final, which will be played at their San Mames home on May 21.

Spurs will go to the Netherlands for the first leg of their last-16 tie against AZ, who they defeated 1-0 in the league phase in October.

If they win, Ange Postecoglou's team could be back in the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, with the victors in that tie playing either Ajax or 2022 tournament winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
