Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says he'll skip today's Champions League draw.

United defeated Club Bruges 4-0 on the night and 7-1 on aggregate to earn their place back at Europe's top table.

"I shall watch the second team because eight players of mine play against Ajax and I think that's more important because I cannot do anything to have any influence in the draw," Van Gaal said last night.

United will enter the draw in pot 2 alongside Arsenal, Real Madrid and local rivals Manchester City - meaning they could face the likes of Juventus, Paris St Germain and either of Van Gaal's former teams Barcelona or Bayern Munich in the group stages.
