Man United fans moan as Champions League draw goes ahead without them

"We could've had Gent if it wasn't for that prehistoric pigeon"

Manchester United fans were reminded of their early Champions League exit on Monday morning.

As their rivals were drawn against European giants like Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain, the Red Devils were pitted against Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.

Unsurprisingly, United fans weren’t too happy with having to wait until the second draw to hear their name called.

While some bemoaned the fact they were playing a side as small as Midtjylland, there were some who wished they had drawn a different European minnow.

But no everybody was so confident that Louis van Gaal’s men would get past the plucky Belgians.

While even the Danes might prove too much.
