Manchester United – Real Sociedad – 08.09.2022 – Prediction

Europa League is here with us! Manchester United takes on Real Sociedad in the most interesting game of the 1st Round of the Group Stage. The game is set to start at 20:00 GMT 0 at Old Trafford.

Strong Favourites

Considering the current squad and form of the Red Devils, perhaps the team should have been included in the Champions League tournament instead. Of course, there is another perspective – Europa League has become more and more attractive for the big clubs. Manchester United will not underestimate the upcoming game and Erik ten Haag will use the best of its squad.

Problems at Sociedad

Real Sociedad is facing some problems at the beginning of the new season but those issues are not entirely related to their performance. Alexander Isak was sold to Newcastle for a record free of 70 million EUR, Alexander Sorloth was brought in as a replacement on a loan deal from Leipzig. The latter had a former experience with Sociedad, so there will be no need for settlement. Unfortunately, there are some injuries within the squad, especially to key players like Le Normand and Oyarzabal.
