Manchester United have been paired with Sevilla in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Red Devils secured their spot in the first knockout round after finishing top of Group A.

Jose Mourinho's men won five of their six matches, with their shock defeat against Basel in mid-November their only slip up.

However, United saw off CSKA Moscow last week to seal top spot and their place in the next round of the competition.

Key summer signing Nemanja Matic has added the missing teeth to United's midfield to go with the goal threat of Romelu Lukaku and the fit-again Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and few teams will fancy taking them on.

Champions League/European Cup best: Quarter-finals 1958

Sevilla won only two of their Group E fixtures but got through on the back of being hard to beat - all except for the complete aberration which was their 5-1 loss to Spartak Moscow in October.

That exposed their key weakness - although they can score plenty, they struggle to keep the back door closed, and kept just one clean sheet against lowly Maribor.
