UEFA Europa League play-offs draw: Roma to play Porto as Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce face Anderlecht

The UEFA Europa League knockout phase play-off draw has thrown up some intriguing ties, including Porto v Roma and Fenerbahce v Anderlecht. There was no British involvement in the draw, with Manchester United, Tottenham and Rangers booking their spots in the knockout stage proper courtesy of top-eight finishes. The last 16 draw takes place on February 21 once the play-off winners have emerged.

Two-time finalists Roma will take on Porto in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase play-offs, while Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce side face Anderlecht.

British sides Manchester United, Tottenham and Rangers dodged the play-offs and are already through to the last 16. They will discover their next opponents on February 21.

The new bracket format meant each team could only be drawn against one of two possible opponents based on the final standings in the league phase.
