UEFA has declared the Champions League draw void following a
series of mistakes during the process on Monday morning.
Manchester United had been paired against Paris
Saint-Germain, but only after being erroneously paired with Villarreal
initially.
The Red Devils were then mistakenly left off the list of
possible opponents to face Atletico Madrid.
After clubs sought clarification from the European governing
body on what had happened, UEFA announced the ties would be redrawn at 2pm on
Monday.
“Following a technical problem with the software of an
external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are
eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA
Champions League Round of 16,” a statement said.
“As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and
will be entirely redone at 1500 CET.”
