---------------------------------
Manchester United and Real Sociedad will face off at Old Trafford in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie, with the score tied at 1-1 following a draw in the first leg in San Sebastian. Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but Mikel Oyarzabal equalized with a penalty in the 70th minute.
Team Analysis:
After a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad and a similar result against Arsenal, Manchester United's domestic struggles continue, leaving them 14th in the Premier League with no trophies in sight. The pressure is now on manager Ruben Amorim to secure Europa League success for Champions League qualification. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad has struggled, with their 1-1 draw in the first leg against United being their only positive result in the last four matches. They are on a three-game losing streak, including a recent 1-0 defeat to Sevilla in La Liga.
Player Situation:
Manchester United will be missing several key players, including Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount, among others. Real Sociedad also faces injury concerns, with Jon Pacheco, Luka Sucic, and Jon Aramburu doubtful for the match. However, Alvaro Odriozola and ArsenZakharyan have recovered and could feature, while Martin Zubimendi is set to return. Real Sociedad is expected to make attacking changes, recalling Oyarzabal, Kubo, and Barrenetxea for the second leg.
Result Prediction:
The past meetings between Manchester United and Real Sociedad have been low-scoring, with only nine goals across seven games. Both teams are struggling domestically, so another tight match is expected, possibly extending to extra time. However, Manchester United is favored to win at Old Trafford and progress to the quarter-finals, where they would face either Lyon or FCSB.
