Manchester United have been grouped with Fenerbahce, Feyenoord and Zorya Luhansk in this season's Europa League.
United, who were seeded thanks to their UEFA coefficient, have been drawn with Fenerbahce from pot two, Feyenoord from pot three and Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine from pot four in Group A.
It is the first time United will take part in the group stage of the Europa League after finishing fifth in the Premier League last season.

The draw will see a return to Old Trafford for Robin van Persie, who signed for Fenerbahce in 2014. Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick in a 6-2 win Fenerbahce on his United debut in 2004.
