After a technical problem that saw Manchester United not included in Atletico Madrid’s potential opponents pot in this morning’s Champions League draw, Uefa were forced to re-draw the Round of 16 stage.

Manchester United were initially set to face Paris Saint-Germain which would result in an intense reunion between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
