Champions League Draw

The Red Devils of Manchester United learned their fate today in the Champions League draw.
Heading up Group C, United will come up against two knowns, and unknown.  Valencia, from La Liga, have played the Reds before in CL play in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. 
The Rangers are no stranger to the Mancs as well.  Manager Sir Alex Ferguson played for Rangers.
The unknown is Turkish champion Bursaspor.  Named the Green Crocodiles (awesome!), this is their first time in the CL.
