20:00 Thursday
Man United welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford for the second leg of this Europa League tie.
Man United vs Real Sociedad Prediction
- Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Sunday means they have won only one of their last six matches in all competitions, and that came at the expense of relegation-threatened Ipswich.
- Ruben Amorim has overseen a run of just four wins from United's last 11 at home, though they have won their last three Europa League matches at Old Trafford.
- A surprise 1-0 home loss to Sevilla extended Real Sociedad's winless run to four matches, of which they have lost three.
- La Real don't have a great away record since December, winning only two of their last eight, one of which came at lower league opposition Ponferradina, and have lost the other six.
- Nevertheless, United continue to struggle in front of goal, and that may mean a repeat of last week's stalemate at the Anoeta.

Man United vs Real Sociedad Team News
- Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte will all be assessed, with the former forced off at the break of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal, a match the latter pair missed.
- Manchester United are yet to recover any of their injured players, with likes of Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo missing, while Chido Obi is ineligible.
- Patrick Dorgu is again available for European action and is expected to start at left wing-back, while Noussair Mazraoui may start at centre-back once more.
- Martin Zubimendi was a second-half introduction in the 1-0 defeat to Sevilla at the weekend but should start in place of Benat Turrientes at the base of the midfield for Thursday's game at Old Trafford.
- That may be the only Real Sociedad change to the XI that started last week's 1-1 draw with Manchester United, though that is dependent on Luka Sucic's fitness.
- Right-backs Jon Aramburu and Alvaro Odriozola are doubts, while Jon Pacheco and Arsen Zakharyan are absent.
