UEFA Europa League: Round of I6
Venue: Old Trafford
Time: 2300
What you need to know
The two teams are level at 1-1 after last week’s first leg in San Sebastian where Zirkzee’s opener was cancelled out by a 70th-minute penalty from Mikel Oyarzabal.
Manchester United showed their grit in a 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League.
At home in the UEL, United have lost just one of their last 28 matches in this competition on home turf (W21, D6), that loss came against Sociedad in September 2022.
Real Sociedad’s winless streak has reached four matches across all competitions (D1, L3), so pressure could begin to mount on boss Imanol Alguacil if his side are unsuccessful here.
The Red Devils are guaranteed to end their domestic campaign trophyless and as they languish 14th in the Premier League table.
Real Sociedad have won just one of their four trips to England in European competition (D1, L2).
