The last 16 draw for the UEFA Europa League has been made in the Swiss city of Nyon.

The Friday draw produced an encounter between Manchester United and the lowest-ranked team left in the tournament, FC Rostov of Russia.

The Red devils are the only English outfit remaining in the competition. They are triple European champion but have never won the Europa League.

Meanwhile, Gent and Genk will meet up in only the second all-Belgian encounter in the history of the UEFA competitions.

French side Lyon will meet Roma and there will be an all-German showdown between Schalke and Borussia Moenchengladbach.

The first leg matches will be played on March the 9th with the return legs to be held a week later.

The final will be played in Stockholm, Sweden, on May the 24th. The winners will gain entry to the next season's UEFA Champions League.
