Inevitably they have to do that if they can't make Sociedad step down from his current position.
Their first game did not go well for Manchester United and indeed one of the last hopes is with the second meeting later.
The problem is will they be able to? because in the first match by playing at Old Trafford they had to feel defeat.
If the question you ask must be answered, then I will try to give a few answers that may be logical for you to think about. If Manchester United doesn't have the ability to get a win against Real Sociedad, it's actually not a big problem because Manchester United's position itself is very safe and only needs one more win in the two remaining matches in the group stage.
But when it comes to ability in general, I don't think Manchester United would have made it this far if they didn't have the ability. Now, look at Arsenal, which was beaten by Manchester United this season in the Premier League, which basically never occurred to many people, including me.
I wouldn't say Manchester United doesn't have the potential. United have plenty of talented players in their squad. But the bonding between them is not good. Their match strategy is not completely stable yet. This is why they are not able to play well consistently.
They are fifth in the Premier League. and finished second in Group E of the Europa League. Their points gap with third-placed Sheriff is 6. But I think we will see United at the top of the table. Because their performance has improved in recent few matches. I think United will be able to perform well against Sheriff and Sociedad in the next two matches.
