English giants Manchester United have been drawn with Belgian outfit RSC Anderlecht in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
United have met Anderlecht six times in European competitions, winning four and losing two. The last meeting between the two sides, in October 2000, saw Anderlecht win 2-1 and helped them pip their opponents to top spot in their Champions League group.
Meanwhile, two former Uefa Cup winners, Ajax and FC Schalke, have been pitted against each other in another quarter-final.
French club Olympique Lyon will cross swords with Turkish side Besiktas for the first time in a European competition. Spanish club Celta Vigo will meet Belgian side Genk to round up the last eight.
