What channel is Real Sociedad v Man Utd Europa League match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Manchester United travel to Turin to face Real Sociedad at a neutral ground in the Europa League Round of 32.
Manchester United will hope to reignite their European campaign having dropped into the Europa League by defeating Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Round of 32 tie in Turin this Thursday.
There are a number of Europa League fixtures being played at neutral venues due to coronavirus restrictions, with Sociedad staging their ‘home’ tie this week at Juventus’ ground.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be desperate to get a win here after enduring a tough few weeks in the Premier League.
Just one win from their last four league games has seen United drop off the title race, although they are still competing in the FA Cup and will hope to go deep into the Europa League knockout stages.
Sociedad themselves are only just recovering from a miserable run of form that saw them claim two wins in 17 games. They are now seeking a third straight victory but would likely take a draw from this tie.

Our prediction: Real Sociedad v Man Utd
Sociedad may have won two on the bounce and be facing a United side that is bang out of form but, in reality, the Premier League outfit should win this tie.
United have the strength in depth to handle their opponents, even if Solskjaer makes changes to his XI.
This is a chance for James, Van de Beek and Telles to shine. The manager will expect United to set the early tempo and, if all goes to plan, they should be leading by the break.
Our prediction: Real Sociedad 1-3 Man Utd (16/1 at bet365)
