Champions League Draw: Manchester United will meet Celtic in Group F with Benfica and FC Copenhagen.
Manchester United chief executive David Gill said he is relishing the clash with Scottish champions Celtic.
“It’s a great draw. It’s great for the fans and great for the manager Sir Alex Ferguson. We have not played against Celtic in a competitive fixture – the last time the two sides met was back in May when we played in Roy Keane‘s testimonial. The atmosphere that night was fantastic, now we’ve got a competitive fixture I’m sure it will go up many, many decibels.”
But Celtic boss Gordon Strachan said that he would rather have faced a club like Real Madrid.
He told BBC Scotland:
“I’ve been to United so many times as a player and a manager, and even with Celtic. I would have liked Real Madrid. Something different.”
