Real Sociedad vs Manchester United - LIVE
Man Utd tonight travel to Real Sociedad in the Europa League last 16. Ruben Amorim’s side are under major pressure to ensure they book their spot in the final eight of this competition, with European glory the only potential avenue of success that remains open for the Red Devils after a nightmare season.
Cup competitions have been their saving grace for a while now but United have rarely been as bad as this. Still, they remain a huge name in the European game and have shown up for the biggest games this season, so will perhaps be quietly confident in their chances about winning what looks a relatively open tournament this season.
Sociedad had to come through the play-offs to get to this stage and sit only just inside the top half of the La Liga table this season. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Real Sociedad vs Man Utd: Europa League score prediction today
15:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
Unconvincing wins over Ipswich and Leicester is as good as it has got for United over the past month.
Real Sociedad have not been at their best this season, but were only narrowly beaten by Real Madrid last month. Goals have been a problem, with only 23 scored in 26 LaLiga matches.
With United struggling in attack themselves, it is unlikely to be a goal-fest in Spain.
Draw, 0-0.
