Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera hopes they can face Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League this season.
The group-stage draw takes place at 12:00 BST on Friday and the Reds are expected to be seeded in pot one, alongside Herrera's former La Liga outfit.
Herrera remains optimistic that he could face his former employers in the latter stages of the competition. Ander agrees that would be a special fixture for him.
"Of course it would be! I spent three fantastic years there," he told MUTV. "When I left my home in Zaragoza, I was there for 12 years, I arrived to Bilbao and everything that I expected was even better. It was a fantastic club with fantastic people working there. I really felt at home very quickly and my family is from Bilbao as well. So of course if we face Athletic then that will be a very special game for me."
