The Magpies will face Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan - none of who they have met before competitively - as they return to the competition after a 20-year absence.

PSG are the champions of France for the past two seasons, while Dortmund, who were runners-up in Germany's Bundesliga last season, won the Champions League in 1997. AC Milan, meanwhile, were semi-finalists last season and have won the trophy seven times, second only to Real Madrid.

The draw was made at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco and United's CEO, Darren Eales, and Sporting Director, Dan Ashworth, were in attendance.

Fixtures will be confirmed in due course, with the following match rounds:
