Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Match Preview and Team News
Manchester United
United goes to the second leg of the tie leading 4-0 from the earlier encounter, with the Spaniards having all to do. Ahead of this clash at Old Trafford, United has scored 12 goals in their last five matches and conceded five but have just two clean sheets in the previous five. Bruno Fernandes has been the team’s star in recent times, with five goals in five matches, including two against Sociedad. He has been key in the team’s run, with the English giants currently failing to score in just three of their last 15 matches. Coming from a 3-1 win over Newcastle United, the hosts are looking to go eight unbeaten. They have six wins in eight Europa League matches and scored 13 goals in the last five while conceding just three. Marcus Rashford is the engine of this team, he goes through the opponent’s defense like a fast train, has excellent ball control, and the English international can be satisfied with his performance.
Real Sociedad
It hasn’t been all good for Spanish sides in the European competitions’ knockout rounds, and Sociedad hopes they can change the narrative. They responded to their 4-0 loss to Manchester United with a resounding 4-0 win over Alaves in La Liga. It is this same scoreline, at the least, that they need to be able to advance in Europa League. However, they’ve scored more than a goal in just one of their last eight Europa League matches. The loss to United was their first in five games in all competitions, but they have scored in 11 of 12 games. The Spaniards know they need to up their game, but a bad away run limits the possibility that they can stage an upset here. Alexander Isak is a great player. Many teams are interested in this guy, he has good dribbles, and his greatest virtue is speed. Portu plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.
