Man United host Real Sociedad at the Old Trafford (Manchester) in the second leg of the round of 32 tie in the Europa League and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Thursday, February 25. Read our reasons for Man United vs Sociedad prediction and betting tips.
Man United welcome Real Sociedad with the round of 32 tie all but put to bed after the United’s convincing win the first leg on neutral territory in Turin. It was a scintillating victory that showcased United’s attacking flair throughout the 90 minutes, with star man Bruno Fernandes scoring twice. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will be confident of progress on Thursday night, in what should be an open game with Sociedad knowing they must push forward.
Man United have scored 4 vital away goals in Turin, and it is very rare to see a comeback of this magnitude in the competition. Real Sociedad would be looking to just avenge the humiliating loss in the first leg, by trying to get a result at Old Trafford, as an upset would be one of the worst defeats in the glorious history of the Red Devils. It is safe to say that after thumping the Spaniards in their match in Turin in the first leg, United have put one foot in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League
Man United seem to get their match-winning mojo back after beating Newcastle United 3-1 in the Premier League matchday, and bossing the pitch in the Europa League game, and are now touted to be the favorites to win the competition. With the tie effectively decided, Solskjaer faces a dilemma whether to rest players here, in order to keep them fit for their domestic fixtures as United are looking to challenge for the title and go all the way in the FA Cup this season.
Real Sociedad responded to their disappointing 4-0 first leg defeat with a 4-0 win of their own at home to Alaves at the weekend. However, the Spanish side have only won 3 of their last 11 away matches and they haven't scored four or more unanswered goals away from home in more than three years. However, La Real will do everything possible to extend their continental adventure.
For this, those of Imanol Alguacil need a perfect night and a performance that is inscribed with letters of gold in the history of the club. Sociedad have shown in La Liga on the weekend they are capable of scoring and they could provide United a threat early on in the game as they look to score to provide them with a glimmer of hope.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
