United Face Roma

United have been drawn against AS Roma in the Champions League quarter finals.

It's a familiar face for the Reds. It's the second time this season that United have been paired with the Italians, and the second time in two seasons that the Giallorossi stand in Sir Alex Ferguson's way at the quarter final stage.

The United boss will be pleased that his side are away in the first leg on Tuesday 1 April, with Luciano Spalletti bringing his side to Old Trafford a week later for the return leg Wednesday 9 April.

The draw for the semi finals was also made in Nyon on Friday. Should United past Roma, the Reds will again be away in the first leg of the last four, against either Schalke or Barcelona. The first leg of that semi final will be played on Wednesday 23 April, the return leg on Tuesday 29 April.

It means United avoid the potential to face Premier League opposition before the final in Moscow, while the winner of Arsenal and Liverpool's all-English quarter final will face either Fenerbahce or Chelsea.

Roma's Key Man
Francesco Totti
The talisman, captain and inspirational force behind the team. Didn't register in any of the four games in the past two seasons, but he is a major threat.
