“We were on the bus during the draw, back from Belgium after our game against Antwerp. I saw that the chance became increasingly greater that we would come into the group at United”.

“I already shouted on the bus beforehand that it would happen. So when that also came true, I just sat there screaming for joy”, the highly-rated winger said.

Also in group L are Astana and Partizan Belgrade.
AZ Alkmaar will play their first match in the Europa League against Partizan Belgrade at the Stadion FK Partizan tomorrow whiles Manchester United host Astana at Old Trafford.
