    Does anyone know the date/opponent(s) of ManUtd's Champions' League qualifier(s)? I've searched all over the web (including official sites uefa.com, manutd.com), but couldn't find anything in particular.

    If it hasn't yet been announced, when will the draw be made? Also, what is the format like? Is it basically a home-and-away 2 match (usual aggregate goal, away goal) format against a specific opponent?

    Perhaps you forgot to search bigsoccer.com? They've got a pretty decent website...
    https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119770

    Looks like the list of possible opponents includes:
    Wisla Kraków, Red Star Belgrade, Shakhtar Donetsk, FC København, Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Ferencváros, Dinamo Bucuresti, Hajduk Split, Trabzonspor, CSKA Moscow, Djurgårdens IF, Young Boys, MSK Zilina, Skonto Riga, HJK Helsinki, Nova Gorica, Neftchi Baku, Georgia Tbilisi, Pyunik Yerevan, FBK Kaunas, SK Tirana, and Shelbourne.
    Based on 1st leg results, all of those teams are still possibilities, except for poor old Georgia Tbilisi (lost to Wisla Krakow 8-2).

    I hope I didn't exclude any possible opponents from the list. Its pretty late at night, so if I did, that's my excuse ;)

    Yes, and no. I searched for the phrase "champions league" in the first 34 threads that show up on the first page, and didn't find anything. The thread you refer to is buried on the 4th page. Thanks for digging it up. (Maybe a mod can merge my thread with the older one.)

    You'll have to forgive me, I made that list without thinking clearly.
    Add the following to the list of possible opponents:
    Benfica, Basel, Grazer AK, Maccabi Haifa, and Banik Ostrava.
    Add those 5 to the 22 above, and you'll get the full list of 27 possible opponents for Manchester United.

    And it'll be Dinamo Bucharest, who win 2-0 on aggregate.
