Manchester United will already feel they have one foot in the Europa League last-16 when they take on Real Sociedad on Thursday boasting a 4-0 aggregate lead from last week’s tie.

United claimed the heaviest victory of all the Europa League fixtures a week ago as Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Daniel James put them on course for the next round.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have since beaten Newcastle 3-1 in the Premier League and the boss looks likely to make changes to his XI for this clash, with half an eye on Chelsea at the weekend.

Sociedad arrive in Manchester having reacted to last week’s defeat with a 4-0 thumping themselves of La Liga side Alaves.

The Spanish outfit may struggle to create many chances against the Red Devils but will hope Solskjaer’s jumbled XI will even out the contest somewhat.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Real Sociedad

Manchester United should have no real problem dealing with this fixture, especially with Sociedad suffering injuries and suspensions last week.

Solskjaer will expect to see his side dominate from the off, and it is a good chance for the likes of James, Fred and Juan Mata to stake a claim for the first team.

This might not be a thrilling encounter but United will get the job done and then turn their attentions to Chelsea on Sunday.

Our prediction: Man Utd 2-0 Real Sociedad (10/1 at bet365)
