Manchester United won this competition two years ago and are faced with a very long away trip to Astana in Kazakhstan, as well Partizan Belgrade and AZ Alkmaar.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be looking to go one better than losing in last year’s final, finding themselves in a group alongside Eintracht Frankfurt, Standard Liege and Vitoria Guimaraes.

For Wolves, in their first season in Europe since losing in the first round of the 1980/81 UEFA Cup, it is a tough group alongside Besiktas, Braga and Slovan Bratislava.
