Manchester United are back, baby! No, not like that, unfortunately for their long-suffering fans. They are back in San Sebastian, though, where they’ll fancy themselves to keep their season alive. United won at Anoeta in 2022 thanks to Alejandro Garnacho’s first goal for the club; they drew there in 2013 despite Marouane Fellaini getting himself sent off. They also routed the Basques 4-0 away in 2021, albeit in Turin thanks to Covid. So their record on the road against Erreala is very good indeed.

That should give them succour, after their latest dispiriting performance against Fulham in the FA Cup last weekend. They’ll also be thankful that Sociedad aren’t quite up to their recent standards, languishing in mid-table in La Liga and coming off the back of a 4-0 thrashing at Barcelona. Although ninth place when compared to United’s 14th in the Premier … but let’s not belabour the point or put the boot in while the Red Devils are down. Suffice to say this could go either way, the current-form guide being of bugger all use, but history suggests United have a chance here to get things moving in the right direction again, and hold onto those Europa League dreams. Kick-off is at 5.45pm GMT. It’s on!

Important Events
36 minutes: Barren domination by United. If your game requires a goal, this is it.
34 minutes: Kubo is Sociedad's best ever, and his flashy footwork is on the right, earning the hosts in the first corner of the evening. Kubo takes it himself, but it's easily cleared. Neither keeper does any meaningful work.
33 minutes: United are now winning more duels. But it's all pretty crude. “The Royal Society of Spain is hosting the Royal Confusion in the Premier League,” says Peter Oh. “The heavy one is the head wearing the crown!”
31 min: Another fine long mazrawi pass. This time, we will release Dolg in the bottom left. He cuts back in hopes of finding Zirkzee. Aguerd is forced to turn away for the horn that doesn't come. Mazrawi has played the quarterback role so far tonight very well.
29 minutes: Dorgu is back…and now Oyarzabal is being cut out from behind by Yoro. He eventually retreats himself. This doesn't help with the flow.
28 minutes: It could be a shocking injury that will be sorted out once the stab wound has subsided. Dorg can leave and appears ready to go back.
27 minutes: It's a concern for United as Dolg falls down on his face with a painful expression, hugging his left thigh.
26 minutes: Real Sociedad passes it patiently, but with little urgency and nowhere to go. This game is not yet separated.
24 minutes: Play restart. Incidentally, Agloud, which is currently available for loan from West Ham in the Basque Country, is reportedly a summer target for United.
22 minutes: It's Ramadan and the sun is soaking. A chance for Nayef Aguerd to break down quickly and get some fuel. A short play, as he does.
20 minutes: …So the Darrot is sent down to the right by a glorious long pass from Mazrawi. A simple pass to free Hojlund is on in the center, but inexplicably turned down. The ball was eventually cut down for Garnacho. Garnacho finds Dolgu burning up on the bar.
18 minutes: Turrientes did another Valering run, this time down the left channel and this time causing Fernandes to die. He reaches the edge of the box before rushing over the shot. The hosts begin to get on top.
16 minutes: Kubo looks lively. Now he's trying 1-2 with Barrenet Xea, but the pass coming back is not good. Otherwise he would have exploded into the box.
15 minutes: Kubo's one-two with Oyarzabal to create the space at the bottom right. United suddenly appears without seeing shape, so they are lucky that Kubo will slip, allowing Drug to intercept and clarify.
13 minutes: The Turrientes dribble on the right channel, leaving Casemiro behind. He laid off to Kubo, and Kubo finds Mendes. Finally, the cross appears. Onana's claim. It's a pretty open game.
12 minutes: Garnacho went back to his usual beat and went back to the left. He is fed by Hojlund and cuts the infield before turning the powerful curler down to the right. Remiro is far behind.
10 minutes: Darot curls the pass right side of Hozilund, who fights hard to keep his ownership. The play was switched to the left, where Dolgue won the first corner of the match. Fernandez swings it around, but clearly heads towards his head at a nearby post without much drama.
8 minutes: A rather quiet start to the game. Fernandez tries to free Darrot into the space on the bottom right, but there is nowhere to go and Peters is out.
6 minutes: Sociedad's free kick on the right. Kubo curls it. The Darrot is half clear. Barrenetxea returns the ball back to the mixer from the left. It's too long. Kubo tries again from the other side. He can't put in a cross or take a shot. United finally clears their line.
4 minutes: Garnacho started the game on the right. Hojlund fills up on the left side, with a straightforward dribbling and low crosses that are easily cleared, but this run offers early hopes at United.
2 minutes: Onana receives a leash pass. Oyalzabal closes him almost, but is sent to the nearest Pintosos bar by the Keeper's elegant pirouette. Spinning the ball and selling a 6-yard dummy from my goal with the clock taking only 60 seconds, it took some nerve.
Manchester United rolls the ball. Their season in balance. Spring is very beautiful San Sebastian.
The team is out. A hymn of the house rings from the walls of Anoeta in the atmosphere. Real Sociedad with blue and white stripes, Manchester united in a red shirt and black shorts. Now it's about time: When the pennants are exchanged, the coins are tossed, and the hands are held, we're off.
Reuben Amorim speaks with TNT Sports. “We need to be really strong… especially at the start of the game… it's going to be really intense… they're ready… we tried to manage the load… I know we'll feel a bit of it in the second half. [after extra time in the FA Cup last weekend] …We're excited to be here…We can deal with the physicality of the game…We look at our opponents, we try to see the space… They put high lines, [Rasmus Højlund] You can use this space… he needs to enjoy football again… to focus on small things… he's fine… we need to own the ball… if we have the ball, it's impossible to score against us… if we lose it in buildup, they're really strong and fast to go to the goal… we're ready for that…
It then won 4-0 with the aforementioned United. Sociedad wouldn't think of it as a favorable idea of that defeat, but they would. of seeds. “They cover us very clearly. The difference was huge,” explains their keeper Alex Remiro. “We were able to compete in terms of play, but physically they were better than us in everything. We finished 4-0, but maybe we were 7-8 years old. We were terrible. And to see them was, “Bloody hell, this is…”: “Amazing!” … From that game, from that loss, we started to stress the duel more. ”
Six weeks later, the Real Beat Arch Rivals Bilbao is the first silverware in 34 years in the Cup final. United's tough love exhibition is just part of this lighting interview with Sociedad stopper. Yet another Sid Lowe Gem.
Manchester United will make three changes to the side that began the FA Cup defeat to Fulham. Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte are injured, and Kristan Eriksen falls to the bench. Patrick Dolgue, Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho take their place.
Host Real Sociedad must do it without sick star midfielder Martín Zubimendi. However, they are being boosted by the return of the captain and key scorer Mikel Oyalzabal.
