Tip 1
Real Sociedad have won five of their last six games in the Europa League and are fancied to extend that run against an injury-ravaged Manchester United.
The Red Devils have only won two of their last six games and were dumped out of the FA Cup at the weekend by Fulham. Their woes could be set to continue against this Sociedad side.
Tip 2
Orri Steinn Oskarsson is a raw young striker who has been something of a revelation since moving to Real Sociedad, netting seven times in 1,167 minutes of action.
That is an average of 0.54 goals per 90 minutes and he is fancied to get on the scoresheet once more against this banged up Manchester United defence.
Real Sociedad Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Takefusa Kubo and Sheraldo Becker return from suspension, while Luka Sucic has been out with a knee injury but could feature.
Mikel Oyarzabal is pushing to be fit after not featuring in their weekend loss against Barcelona. The forward’s fitness will be key for the hosts. He has nine goals and seven assists in all competitions this term and is their penalty taker.
Real Sociedad Predicted XI: Remiro; Lopez, Aguerd, Zubeldia, Aramburu; Zubimendi, Marin, Mendez; Kubo, Oskarsson, Oyarzabal.
Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Jonny Evans, Tobias Collyer, Mason Mount and Altay Bayindir are all injured. Patrick Dorgu’s suspension does not apply to Europe, meaning he should return to the fold. Harry Maguire is also a doubt, while Chido Obi is ineligible in this competition.
Manchester United are again likely to lean heavily on Bruno Fernandes. Their talismanic midfielder and captain has 11 goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season.
Whether or not Harry Maguire plays could also have a big say on the result. The former Leicester man is a key defender for the visitors and has netted three crucial goals this season.
Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Zirkzee, Garnacho; Hojlund.
