Prediction: 1-2
Manchester United
Top position in Group E will be at stake when Real Sociedad and Manchester United square off against each other at Reale Arena on Thursday evening. La Real aim to keep their 100% record in the Europa League intact, but they should be happy with one point from the match as well. Keep in mind that all Barrenetxea, Cho, Kubo, Merquelanz, Munoz, Oyarzabal, Sadiq, David Silva, and Sola missed the 2-0 loss to Real Betis with injuries.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, defeated West Ham United thanks to Marcus Rashford’s goal at the weekend, and they are now on a quest to get their revenge on Real Socieadad for the defeat at Old Trafford. Since Man Utd have been showing signs of improvement of late, we are tempted to put our money on Erik ten Hag’s troops. Both Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka are major doubts, while both Martial and Varane are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mikel Oyarzabal):
Intelligence is not an attribute you will find in Mikel Oyarzabal’s stats with Real Sociedad but this tricky winger is a highly knowledgeable winger who will use both brain and feet while playing. For a player born in Eibar, who made his first steps in his hometown club, it was always going to be a choice between Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad for Oyarzabal.
La Real saw their chance and grabbed this gem of a player at a young age, helping him develop into a proper professional throughout their youth ranks. Mikel Oyarzabal has spent the entirety of his senior career with the Basque behemoths where he’d use his ability to fill in a number of positions up top much to his own benefit.
Oyarzabal’s positioning and movement are work of a tactical genius, whereas it is his nous to find details to exploit that best define him as a player. Having come through the youth categories of the Spanish national team, Oyarzabal also has a senior cap next to his name. It was in 2016 that he also represented the Basque region, scoring on his debut to cap a 3-1 win over Tunisia.
Highlighted Team (Manchester United):
Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles.
A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.
The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
