Manchester United will play Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the second round of qualification for the Women's Champions League.

The qualification stage is split into two mini tournaments - a 'champions path' and a 'league path'.

United are in the league path, which features semi-finals on 27 August and finals on 30 August.

The third round of qualification takes place in September, with two-legged ties deciding the teams who will reach the league phase.

Should United, who finished third in the Women's Super League last season, beat PSV they will play either Swedish side Hammarby or Metalist Kharkiv from Ukraine.

Scottish champions Hibernian face Denmark's Fortuna Hjorring, with the winners of that tie facing Cypriots Apollon or Swiss club Young Boys.

Hibs' compatriots Glasgow City, meanwhile, meet Austria Vienna in their first match, with the winner taking on Bulgarian side FC Minsk.

Welsh double winners Cardiff City will take on Republic of Ireland club Athlone Town in the first qualifying round, with the winners facing Croatian champions ZNK Agram in the group final for a place in the second round of qualifying.

Also in the first round, Northern Ireland's Cliftonville Ladies will take on KFF Mitrovica, the champions of Kosovo.
