United breezed through the group, winning three and drawing two of their remaining five matches after a 2:1 loss to Young Boys on day one.
Teams that finish second in their group will be paired with a team that finished second in another group. That example, a club from the same group cannot meet with another club from the same group.
A club is unable to compete against a team from its own country. United will be unable to play Atalanta or Villareal, whose match to determine the Group F runner-up has been rescheduled for Thursday, as well as Chelsea, who placed second in Group H.
Manchester United will not be able to play any of these two-seeds in the round of 16. The others could be adversaries.
The following are the six teams:
Atletico Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid (Spain)
Benfica is a Portuguese football club (Portugal)
Internazionale is a term used to describe a group of people who (Italy)
Paris Saint-Germain is a French football club (France)
RB Salzburg is a club based in Salzburg, Austria (Austria)
Club Sporting (Portugal)
If Manchester United is drawn against PSG, a rematch between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is a possibility, while a trip to Sporting Lisbon for both Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes isn't a bad draw either.
Victor Lindelof may return to Benfica, although United would prefer to play Salzburg over the other unseeded clubs since it would be the easiest route to the Quarterfinals.
