Preview for Real Sociedad against Manchester United
Manchester United drives in San Sebastián when he knows that the Europa League is the last chance of silverware this season.
It was another miserable campaign for United that fought on the field and made the headlines with the new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and forced a number of unpopular cost reduction measures.
The most recent chapter took place on Sunday when Ruben Amorim’s team left the FA Cup after they had lost after a 1-1 draw against Fulham at a penalty shot in Old Trafford-Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee, the men who miss it.
The winning of the Europa League would be enormous for the association from both football and a financial point of view.
It would offer a platform for Amorim to start his squad reset, which was increased by the right to a place in the Champions League of the next season, and also increased the sources of income by hand with regard to the concern for PSR sanctions.
The problem you have is that Europe’s second animal competition is still stacked with good teams such as Athletic Bilbao, Roma, Tottenham and Lyon.
Real Sociedad also belong in this category and the two legs against the Spanish side should be nearby.
They rose to ninth place in La Liga after an inconsistent form, but present a huge challenge on their day, as shown by four points from two home games against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
