Robin van Persie helped the Premier League outfit overcome a 2-0 deficit by scoring a hat-trick against Olympiacos at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

United, who have been struggling in the Premier League this season, could face Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund in the final eight.

"We're just happy to be in the next round," BBC Sport quotes Jones as saying. "Whoever we get we will welcome, but hopefully we can go and put in another performance and qualify for the semi-finals."

The draw will get underway in Switzerland on Friday.
