Jose Mourinho and his Manchester United side have sailed triumphantly to the knockout stage of the Champions League after beating CSKA Moscow 2-1 at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
The red devils came from behind to earn all three points from the game against the Russian club in their final group stage game at home.
CSKA scored first on the stroke of halftime, before the duo of Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford helped turned around the tides.
Although FC Basel also won Benfica in Portugal, Man United finished the round as the best side in the Group A and are now expecting who they would face in the round of 16.
However, the red devils could be hooked with some other big sides after the draw.
The likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus finished second in their respective groups, and after finishing top of Group A, Man United are likely to face any of those clubs.
Nevertheless, everything will get known on the 11th of this month, which is the day the draw will take place in Switzerland.
Speaking recently about the premier league club likely to win the Champions League this season, former Liverpool player Steven Gerrard believes Manchester United are advantaged due to Jose Mourinho’s expertise.
