It will be a difficult match for United whose performance is not improving. Hopefully, they'll be able to overcome the challenge and advance to the next round. It's Europa League, and no club is favorite until we see their performance on the field. Real Sociedad might be tough in Laliga, but United will make things difficult for them.
Manchester United are expected to be able to give their best performance when they visit Real Sociedad's headquarters, but when I see a number of Manchester United's core players who are still injured until now, I am a little doubtful that Manchester United can make things difficult for Real Sociedad in the match that will take place in the near future. Because the Manchester United team, apart from having to sharpen their own attack line, also has to strengthen their midfield so that their team's defense can be helped a little and is not easily penetrated by the opposing team.
Even the gamblers believe Real Sociedad has better chance to win than Manchester United. Manchester United is having one of its worst season in 21st century and was battling to stay away form relegation zone. Even though they are now almost safe from relegation. But Real Sociedad is also not at their best form and the game would be competitive.
Manchester United last year surprisingly won the FA Cup to reach the Europa League and I hope they still held some surprises.
