Manchester United are set for a reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo after having being drawn to face Juventus in the group stage of the 2018/19 Champions League, as Red Devils fans reacted to the draw on social media.
Jose Mourinho's side are in a potentially testing group, with La Liga heavyweights Valencia and Swiss outfit Young Boys completing the group apart from the Italian champions.
The English giants were eliminated in the Round of 16 stage last season and will surely be looking to go further into the competition as they begin their campaign away against Young Boys. Twitter user and Red Devils fan United Conner predicted a top finish in the group for the club, with HRMukkanti up for the challenge.
We’re finishing top of that group.

Although Av Srikanth thinks the team may not even qualify for the Europa League, being eliminated after finishing fourth if the team do not improve on their current form.
Unless we improve our performance we would be eliminated by the 4th game and may not even qualify for Europa league.

On the other hand Kanwar Singh is intrigued by the subplots involved in the group, with Ronaldo playing at Old Trafford, Paul Pogba facing Juventus and Juan Mata being back at Valencia.
Ronaldo back at United, Pogba back at Juventus, Mata back at Valencia, Antonio Valencia playing against Valencia, Ashley Young playing against Young Boys. So many sub plots I tell you.?

While Jerry Lay predicted a trip back to the Europa League, The Red Devil found the group to be a 'sticky' one.
Meanwhile, Mourinho Mindset predicts a man of the match performance from Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young against Valencia and Young Boys respectively.
