"We met AC Milan many times in the 1/4 finals and semi-finals, so this will be another fantastic showdown between these two great clubs, and we are very much looking forward to this day coming soon."
Manchester United's public relations liaison officer Townsend also expressed satisfaction with the lottery result, which Townsend confirmed in an interview with Sky Sports.
"That would be interesting. I think any team that comes to Old Trafford will be very happy. This is the charm of the Champions League.
