The match between Manchester United and Real Sociedad is anticipated to be a tightly contested encounter, reflecting the historical rivalry and competitive spirit of both clubs. Given their respective performances in recent domestic and international fixtures, predictions suggest a closely fought battle. Manchester United, bolstered by their attacking prowess, will likely seek to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities. Conversely, Real Sociedad's tactical discipline and defensive organization could pose significant challenges for the Red Devils.
Manchester United will do battle with Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday, with the sides locked level at 1-1 ahead of a date at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim’s side showed plenty of fighting spirit during a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the weekend, so hopes are high they can secure crucial progression to the next round.
It’s also a big week for the club off the pitch, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe announcing a pretty new circus that must align with the Glazers’ comical vision of how to run the club.

Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw could all feature before the end for the season but Thursday’s game will almost certainly come too early for them. Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are also still sidelined.
Young striker Chido Obi is ineligible for Europa League competition, having not been registered in their squad for the knockout stages.
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Mazraoui; Dalot, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee
Real Sociedad possible starting lineup: Remiro; Elustondo, Zubeldia, Aguerd, Munoz; Turrientes, Zubimendi, Mendez; Kubo, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea
Manchester United showed promise in the second half against Arsenal, yet still needed Bruno Fernandes' brilliance to score, highlighting his importance. Real's poor away form (five losses in their last six) favors Sporting. While a classic is unlikely, United's individual talent could secure a narrow victory on Thursday.
