The Defense of the European Cup Begins...

[Mr. Nick]

Celtic? Villarereal? Aalborg? Could it have been any better? Probably not much...

the only team that got a better draw was barca but i'm not complaining.

[Mr. Nick]

All in all, I think it's a more than decent draw. Not too much travel, as Fergie pointed out. Obviously, the Celtic matches will be fiery affairs, with a match in Glasgow that could go either way but we should get the better of them at Old Trafford. Villarreal is no easy place to travel, with their intimate and hostile crowd but again, they should pose no danger away from Spain. To be honest, I know nothing of Aalborg, except they'll be bringing their wives and cameras to Old Trafford, but as United proved two years ago in Copenhagen, losing to obscure Danish clubs is not impossible.

The draw is feasible, in my opinion. And yes, I did remembered the time when United was in Copenhagen.

Let the defense of the European Cup, begin.
