Well. Well well well.
It was bound to happen. Liverpool and Man United will face each other in Europe for the first time ever. Such is the epic nature of the two-legged encounter that it kind of overshadowed the rest of the Europa League draw.
But how did the respective sets of fans react to drawing their arch enemies? Is encountering your bitter rival a blessing or a curse? It seems that pretty much everyone was delirious with excitement – but equally fearful of what’s at stake.
Liverpool reaction:
INTO those bastards, Reds
