Manchester United should be happy with the Champions League group handed to them and it does feature a minor sub-plot too.

The Red Devils will face Valencia and Young Boys but the two major clashes from the group will see us take on Juventus.

A match against the Old Lady is always a big talking point but Cristiano Ronaldo joining the Serie A giants this season adds something extra to the tie.

The former United man must aim to take his new team all the way to Champions League glory. However, we won’t make it easy for the Turin giants as topping the group could lead to easier fixtures in the knockout stage.

United’s performance in the group stage last season was good but getting knocked out by Sevilla was a blow for Jose Mourinho and the side.

A number of fans were excited Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford while others were bracing for a Europa League run.
