Europa League: Manchester United face Anderlecht in quarter-finals – live!

Thoughts on that draw? United have a
little history with Anderlecht – the sides
have met six times in European
competition, with United winning four
and losing two. Their last meeting, in
October 2000, saw the Brussels club win
2-1 – a result that helped them pip their
opponents to top spot in their Champions
League group. A more positive omen for
United is that their record win in any
competition came against Anderlecht – a
10-0 triumph way back in the 1956
European Cup.
