Europa League: Real Sociedad vs Man United team news, predicted XI and more

Manchester United has lost only one game to Real Sociedad in the past.

Manchester United will kick off the knockout campaign of the Europa League which remains their only chance to silverware this season. The Red Devils were crashed out of the FA Cup by Fulham on penalties at the weekend.

After a disappointing exit, Ruben Amorim and his men will turn their heads to the European competition as they make a journey to Spain to face Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Round of 16.

Manchester United who played Real Sociedad in 2022 have had a decent record against the La Liga side. With only losing once in their six contests, the Manchester side has managed three wins against them in the Europa League.

It’ll be important for United to bounce back from the setback as we look at the potential lineups of both teams. Real Sociedad, coming from the defeats to Barcelona and Real Madrid in their last two games, will look to get back to winning ways on their home turf.
