Mourinho’s Man Utd face Celta Vigo, While Real Madrid play rivals Atletico Madrid
The Premier League side have never
triumphed in the continent's secondary club competition and will be playing the
semifinal of the competition for the first time, but have won the Champions League three times.
Dutch side Ajax, winners in 1992, come up
against French club Lyon in the other last-four tie.
The first legs will be played on 4 May with
the second leg on 11 May, and the final in Stockholm, Sweden on 24 May.
United manager Jose Mourinho won the
competition with Porto in 2003 and comes up against La Liga club Celta, who
have never won a major European competition.
Ajax, who beat Schalke 4-3 on aggregate to
reach the last four, are also experienced European campaigners. They have won
the Champions League/European Cup four times previously and the Europa
League/Uefa Cup once, beating Torino in the 1992 final.
In the Champions League draw, holders Real Madrid play city rivals
Atletico Madrid and French side Monaco take on Italian club Juventus.
Zinedine Zidane's side could become the
first club to retain the trophy in the Champions League era in the final on 3
June in Cardiff.
The
first legs of those ties will be played on 2 and 3 May, with the return legs
taking place the following week.
