Jose Mourinho&rsquo;s side will also come up against Dutch giants Feyenoord and Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine in Group A. &ldquo;It is a good draw for us. We think we are in the Champions League. There are very similar groups in the Champions League,&rdquo; said Mourinho.
&ldquo;It is a difficult group but it is good. If you have teams without expression, even fans wouldn&rsquo;t enjoy Thursdays. We all know the competition is not the same as the Champions League but to have Manchester United playing against clubs with tradition like Fenerbahce and Feyenoord is good for us. I don&rsquo;t have more vision about Ukraine.&rdquo;
Istanbul rivals Besiktas, Fenerbahce were eliminated from the Champions League by Monaco in the third qualifying round.
