Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tilt began with a disaster 2-0 home loss to Paris Saint-Germain, leaving United with a task no team had ever managed.
Now a team has managed it. United, in the 94th minute, completed a two-goal first-leg home loss turnaround to make the quarter-finals.
Manchester United will face Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals after the draw was made at UEFA’s Swiss headquarters in Nyon on Friday.
Serie A giants Juventus will face Ajax following the Dutch side’s incredible victory over Real Madrid while last year’s beaten finalists Liverpool was arguably handed a favorable draw against Porto.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the only all- English Premier League quarterfinal.
*A reminder that Man. City & Manchester United are not able to play at home on the same night, nor on consecutive nights, following a decision made by the relevant local authorities. The first leg of Manchester United v Barcelona will therefore be at Old Trafford.— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) March 15, 2019
The quarterfinal first legs will be played between April 9/10 with the reverse fixtures scheduled for April 16/17.
