Manchester United earned themselves qualification after securing Europa League honors by defeating Ajax. There will be endless pressure on Jose Mourinho to bring home silverware after a terrific start to their Premier League season. United have played two, won two so far, beating Swansea and West Ham by a combined score of 8-0.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects are expected to make the same kind of noise they did last season or improve on their showings. Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Liverpool are just some of the names to keep a close eye on this season.
The group stage games will consist of six match days and they will feature on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as per usual. These matchups will take place on Sept. 12-13 and 26-27, Oct. 17-18, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, Nov. 21-22 and into early December.
With pot two loaded with quality sides, including Barca, Atletico, PSG, Manchester City and Manchester United, there could be some very strong groups.
