Manchester United will face Spanish side Celta Vigo in the semi-finals of the Europa League.<\/p>\n

The Premier League side have won the European Cup three times but have never triumphed in the continent’s secondary club competition.<\/p>\n

Dutch side Ajax, winners in 1992, come up against French club Lyon in the other last-four tie.<\/p>\n

The first legs will be played on 4 May with the second leg on 11 May, and the final in Stockholm, Sweden on 24 May.<\/p>\n

United manager Jose Mourinho won the competition with Porto in 2003 and comes up against La Liga club Celta, who have never won a major European competition.<\/p>\n

Ajax, who beat Schalke 4-3 on aggregate to reach the last four, are also experienced European campaigners. They have won the Champions League\/European Cup four times previously and the Europa League\/Uefa Cup once, beating Torino in the 1992 final.<\/p>\n

In the Champions League draw, holders Real Madrid play city rivals Atletico Madrid and French side Monaco take on Italian club Juventus.<\/p>\n

Zinedine Zidane’s side could become the first club to retain the trophy in the Champions League era in the final on 3 June in Cardiff.<\/p>\n
