Despite Ruben Amorim’s arrival, Manchester United’s performance has worsened. The English side are 14th in the PL, and their only hope to salvage the season will be a success in the Europa League.

In the last round of the Premier League, though, they managed to secure a draw against Arsenal (1-1). Bruno Fernandes’s excellent free kick was cancelled out by Declan Rice, and they could have won at the stoppage time.
Ahead of Thursday’s clash, United have notable injury worries, primarily in the defence. Manuel Ugarte, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, and Harry Maguire are only a few of the absentees. Amorim will probably use the same lineup as before against Sociedad.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (3-4-3): Onana; Yoro, de Ligt, Lindelof; Dorgu, Fernandes, Eriksen, Dalot; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee.
| Key Players to Watch | Bruno Fernandes, Leny Yoro, Alejandro Garnacho |
| Team Strengths | Good at set pieces |
| Team Weaknesses | Failing to create chances |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Manuel Ugarte, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Amad Diallo |
Real Sociedad’s four-match winless streak across all competitions continued against Sevilla in the last round. They succumbed to a 0-1 defeat. This defeat leaves them 11th in the standings with 34 points. The pressure on Imanol Alguacil is growing.
Sociedad played the first leg with utmost determination, yet they managed to get away with a draw. After Mikel Oyarzabal’s penalty, the hosts got the initiative but failed to convert their chances.

Unlike Manchester United, Real Sociedad will be present with an optimal squad. Only Jon Pacheco, Alvaro Odriozola, and Arsen Zakharyan are sidelined. The Croatian Luka Sučić is questionable to feature.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-3-3): Remiro; Elustondo, Aguerd, Zubeldia, Muñoz; Marin, Turrientes, Mendez; Kubo, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea.
| Key Players to Watch | Mikel Oyarzabal, Takefusa Kubo, Aritz Elustondo |
| Team Strengths | Fast wingers |
| Team Weaknesses | Poor defending |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Alvaro Odriozola, Jon Pacheco, Luka Sučić, Arsen Zakharyan |
The sides have met seven times. Manchester United won three, drew three, and Real Sociedad won one. They’ve mostly held matches in the Europa League.
Bruno Fernandes has been Man United’s best player this season. The Portuguese scored a magnificent free kick against Arsenal and is key in the midfield.
As for Real Sociedad, Mikel Oyarzabal will be a threat to their opponents. The Spanish international is not as effective as in the previous years, but he’ll be in the spotlight for the upcoming clash.
Bet hereAmorim has tried various formations with Manchester United but recently stuck to the 3-4-3 tactic. Given the vast list of injured players, he will not change the strategy.
Alguacil has used a 4-3-3 strategy throughout the season, and similar to his counterpart, we don’t expect any changes. He’ll rely on the fast wingers to exploit Manchester’s defensive frailties.
Manchester could have lost the previous game had it not been for a save from Andre Onana in the stoppage time. However, the visitors were primarily solid in the match and claimed a deserved draw.
The return event is going to be different and we can expect an ultimate initiative from the hosts. The draw against Arsenal will also serve them well, and Amorim’s men are the favourites.
Real Sociedad are in poor form and we don’t expect them to put up resistance against the English side. The home squad are likely to dominate and our first pick in this game would be Manchester to win.
Both teams have encountered scoring problems this season. Man United have the sixth-worst result in the Premier League, with 34 goals. Sociedad are third, ahead of Valladolid and Getafe only (23).
We think that, similar to the first leg, this match will be defensive from each camp. Neither of them can afford to make a mistake as it could lead to elimination. Moreover, in the six H2H fixtures, five ended with less than two goals scored.
We don’t anticipate a high-scoring affair this week. The visitors will sit back in the defence, and Manchester will wait for their chances. Our second pick for Thursday would be under 2.5 goals.
