Exactly. Who is actually the weakest team they could now draw? All the top sides seem to be through and it's hard to make a case for them competing with anyone. I actually think their best chance is probably against Chelsea, because although Chelsea are a much better team, they lack goalscorers so I could see two legs against them being quite low-scoring. I'd still expect Chelsea to go through relatively easily, but I doubt it would be a humiliation. PSG are clearly superior, but they still lack experience at this level, so United could get away with a fairly small defeat to them possibly. On the other hand, put them up against Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or even Dortmund (who would LOVE all those huge spaces to break into at Old Trafford) and you've got a train wreck on your hands. I can't wait!
I'm of the opinion that the only way a British side is getting through to the semis is if Chelsea & United play each other.
