Match Preview
Man United’s form in the Europa League has been solid throughout the campaign, but there will be huge pressure on the Red Devils in the competition for the remainder of the season, as it marks their only likely way back into Europe next season.
Real Sociedad will also have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders in the competition, as it also marks their most likely way to qualify for Europe. The Spanish side sit ninth in the La Liga standings, and they were heavily beaten 4-0 by Barcelona on Sunday.

Sociedad have recorded just a single win in their last six European matches against United. Their only victory was recorded at Old Trafford in September 2022. The effort in the 1-0 success remains their only goal against the Red Devils.
Furthermore, Sociedad have never beaten an English team in front of their own fans. They have also failed to score in all three home fixtures against Man United. But, it could be worth noting that Sociedad are one of six teams that have registered at least one goal in all of their matches this season.
United have a fine away record against Spanish teams, having lost just one of their last eight. But, their only defeat was suffered on their most recent trip to Spain after losing 3-0 against Sevilla in the 2022-23 season.
Real Sociedad vs. Man United Picks
It is incredibly challenging to make a case for United based on their recent performances across all competitions. Sociedad have also stuttered for form, which means that there could be value in siding with the draw on Thursday.
