Wenger and Fergie avoid Euro favourites

ARSENAL and Manchester United will both avoid favourites Real Madrid in this morning’s draw for the second group phase of the Champions League.

But both sides are guaranteed to face some stiff opposition.

UEFA's seedings and rules to keep clubs from the same country and those who met in the first phase apart, mean United will be definitely be in the same group as Spain's Deportivo La Coruna whom they played four times in the competition last season and Arsenal will be drawn with Italian side Roma.
