Manchester United have fallen below great rivals Manchester City in UEFA's latest club coefficient rankings.
With the Red Devils missing out on European football last season they fell to 20th place in the rankings, four places below their neighbours.
United will play a two-legged play-off match this month, though their standings in the pots for the Champions League group stages will be unchanged.
The coefficients UEFA take are from the end of last season and take the previous five seasons in the competition into consideration.
That means United's run to the Champions League final in 2010-11 counts, and Louis van Gaal's side will be drawn in pot 2, alongside the likes of Real Madrid.
United have 103.078 points in that format, more than Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen, who will also line up in a play-off match.
