Arsenal to face PSV on return to Europe, Manchester United draw Real Sociedad
After failing to qualify for any of the European tournaments last season, Arsenal has been drawn to face PSV Eindhoven in its return to the Europa League, while Manchester United will face Real Sociedad in the Europa League group stage fixtures.
The North London will want to make a statement in Group A after an amazing start in the 2022/23 premier league, presently dominating the league table with three wins.
In the match against PSV, Arsenal will square up against a familiar rival, Ruud van Nistelrooy. The former Manchester United player, who used to be their rival, is now in charge of PSV, placed in Group A alongside FC Zurich, Bodo/Glimt, and the Gunners.
Manchester United, the 2017 champions, will compete in Group E against FC Sheriff and Omonia Nicosia, which seems to be a favorable matchup for the Red Devils.
United had played Real Sociedad in the group stage of the Champions League in 2013 and in the last 32 of the Europa League in 2021, with United winning 4-0 on aggregate.
West Ham will compete against Anderlecht of Belgium in Group B of the Europa Conference League, while Hearts will compete in Group A.
The Scottish team was paired against FK RFS of Latvia, Istanbul Basaksehir of Turkey, and Fiorentina of Italy.
