Team News
Man Utd
Real Sociedad
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Donny van de Beek, Edison Cavani and Scott McTominay are still sidelined. It leaves his midfield depleted with Paul Pogba also missing.
- The Manchester United head coach will certainly rotate after the 4-0 win in the first leg, particularly with Chelsea away on Sunday, but is restricted in some areas.
- Solskjaer previously ruled out Amad Diallo or Shola Shoretire making full debuts on Thursday but with so many injuries it wouldn't be a surprise if the former did at least.
- With Cavani potentially out of the Chelsea game, Solskjaer may not risk the likes of Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial here, though the latter could do with a confidence boost.
- Dean Henderson, Alex Telles, Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams and Juan Mata will almost certainly be considered for starts on Thursday. Tuanzebe could play right-back with Victor Lindelof and Bailly paired at centre-back together.
- Harry Maguire will miss their next European game with a booking here and should given a rare night off.
- Real Sociedad find themselves in a tricky situation after a 4-0 first leg defeat. Unlikely to overturn such a deficit, do they put their best players through a needless run out or do they back themselves and go for it? They did win 4-0 at the weekend, with Aleksander Isak scoring a hat-trick.
- David Silva and Adnan Januzaj will hope to start in Manchester for different reasons. The Spanish side could be missing four players through injury, while Portu will push to start.
Man Utd was better tonight.
Le Normand is suspended
