The tie hangs in the balance after a 1-1 draw in San Sebastian, where Joshua Zirkzee’s opener was canceled out by Mikel Oyarzabal’s penalty. For United, the Europa League represents their last shot at silverware and a potential route back into the Champions League, with Ruben Amorim under pressure to salvage an otherwise forgettable domestic campaign. Despite their league struggles, the Red Devils have been formidable at home in Europe.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, arrive in Manchester on shaky form, having lost three straight domestic games, including a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Sevilla.

With both sides desperate to progress and history suggesting a tight contest, this one could go right down to the wire.
