The group-stage draw will take place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on Thursday 30 August from 17:00 BST.
United will be in Pot 2 for the draw, alongside Borussia Dortmund, FC Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma. We therefore cannot face any of those teams in the group stage, nor can we play against Liverpool or Manchester City as teams from the same country must be kept apart.
The highest-ranked opponents Jose Mourinho’s men could be pitted against are Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris St-Germain, Lokomotiv Moscow, who are all in Pot 1.
The other teams who could be in United's group include:
Pot 3: Schalke, Lyon, Monaco, CSKA Moscow, Ajax
Pot 4: Club Brugge, Galatasaray, Young Boys, Inter Milan, Hoffenheim, AEK Athens
Pot to be determined: Valencia, Viktoria Plzen
Still to be added to that list of potential opponents for United are the winners of three play-off ties to be concluded on Wednesday night.
PSV Eindhoven take a 3-2 lead into their second leg at home to BATE Borisov, Red Bull Salzburg welcome Red Star Belgrade after a goalless first-leg draw, while PAOK Salonika host Benfica with a crucial away goal in their tie following a 1-1 draw last week.
Potential Group of Death: Anyone from Pot 1 (excluding Lokomotiv), United, Monaco, Inter.

Thought the pot 1 teams were supposed to be champions of the top 7 leagues plus the CL winners?

CL winners
EL winners
La Liga winners
Prem winners
Bundesliga winners
Seria A winners
Ligue 1 winners
Russian league winners

I think Valencia would be the team to include in the group of death over Inter or Monaco.

For the first time ever I’m not excited by the CL draw 😞
Thought when I got my membership I’d try and get to some home CL games, especially the tie vs a Pot 1 team. But now I don’t want to waste my money seeing us get trashed by Barca, Real or Moscow

Reckon we’ll get a tough one this time.
It’s about time, we’ve had it easy for a long time, law of averages would dictate a tougher draw at some stage, despite uefa s beat efforts to let the big teams have it easy...

Don't give a rats about the CL this year. Bring on the very best I say. Who cares because we can't win it anyway can we let's be brutally honest.
PSG would be fun. Atletico would be a nightmare. Jose Vs Simeone could send a glass eye to sleep
