Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Preview

Real Sociedad were humiliated in their last outing, following a massive 4-0 loss to Barcelona on Sunday evening at Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys. It was a difficult match for Sociedad, and it became worse after Aritz Elustondo was sent off for committing a professional foul a few minutes after the game started.

Manchester United, on the other hand, were eliminated from the FA Cup on Sunday after a 4-3 loss to Fulham in a shocking penalty shootout at Old Trafford. United had nine shots on target with five big chances created, but unfortunately, they were unable to outscore Fulham who only had two big chances. With the FA Cup out of the way, Ruben Amorim’s side will travel to Spain this week for their upcoming Europa League tie against Real Sociedad.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils appear to be the stronger side in this fixture, having won in three of their past six encounters (D2, L1), including a narrow victory in their last visit in 2022.
