Manchester United will face Spanish side Celta Vigo in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, after a draw was made in Switzerland on Friday.

Dutch side Ajax will play Lyon in the competition's other semi-final.

Lyon progressed to the last four after narrowly beating Turkish side Besiktas in Istanbul on Thursday night.

The action from the Vodafone Arena went to a penalty shootout where Besiktas and Lyon each managed to score on their first six shots.

After misses by Besiktas's Dusko Tosic and Matej Mitrovic and a miss by Christophe Jallet for Lyon, the stage was set for Maxime Gonalons to give his team the win.

The Lyon captain confidently stroked home the winning shot to send his team to the semi-finals.

The first-leg matches will be on Thursday May 4, with the returns taking place the following week.
