Head to Head

Manchester United have clashed with Real Sociedad twice, both in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage.

The Red Devils ran out 1-0 winners in Manchester, with club legend Wayne Rooney forcing an own goal. The second encounter ended in a goalless draw in Spain.

Real Sociedad Form

Real Sociedad are a tough side to beat and are unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 games across all competitions. They currently occupy 5th place in La Liga.

The Basque outfit took a 1-0 lead at Real Betis in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, but ultimately lost 3-1 in extra time.

Imanol Alguacil’s team drew 1-1 at Villarreal despite having 1.17-0.23 expected goals.

Real Sociedad made their dominance count in their previous two outings winning 4-1 against Cadiz and 1-0 at Getafe.

Real Sociedad Injuries & Team News

Real Sociedad have no major players missing for this match.

Forward Mikel Oyarzabal is in great form with 5 goals in his last 6 matches and hit the woodwork against Getafe.

Swedish striker Alexander Isak has scored 6 goals in his last 5 matches in La Liga.

Manchester United Form

Manchester United are currently faltering in their bid to catch city rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s charges are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but have drawn too many matches.

United showed their class against Southampton, winning 9-0 after the visitors were reduced to 10 men in just the 2nd minute of the match.

They threw away points against Everton, leading 2-0 after half time and 3-2 in the closing stages before conceding a 94th minute equaliser.

Man United reached the FA Cup quarter-finals after a 1-0 home win against West Ham. Scott McTominay came off the bench to score the winner in extra time.

Manchester United suffered a frustrating 1-1 draw from their perspective at West Brom on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils fell behind in the 2nd minute. Bruno Fernandes equalised, but United struggled to create clear-cut chances to take the points home with them.

Manchester United Injuries & Team News

Manchester United centre back Phil Jones is injured, but Eric Bailly is close to a return and could replace Victor Lindelöf next to Harry Maguire in central defence.

Influential midfielder Paul Pogba is injured.

Expect winger Mason Greenwood to return to the starting side here.

Bruno Fernandes continues to lead the way for United, scoring in his last 3 Premier League matches.
