United won the home game 1-0 but went down 4-3 in the Danish capital after squandering a 2-0 lead following Marcus Rashford’s sending off.
Elsewhere, Premier League leaders Arsenal take on Porto and will also fancy their chances of reaching the quarter-finals.
The format in which group winners play second-placed finishers meant most of the big boys were kept apart with arguably the pick of the ties seeing Italian champions Napoli taking on struggling Barcelona.
Another spicy clash sees Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone take on one of his former clubs, Inter.
The draw in full is:
Porto v Arsenal
Napoli v Barcelona
Paris Saint-German v Real Sociedad
Inter v Atletico Madrid
PSV Eindhoven v Borussia Dortmund
Lazio v Bayern Munich
FC Copenhagen v Manchester City
RB Leipzig v Real Madrid
