Here we will bring you Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Prediction, Team news, and Possible lineups and all you need to know ahead of the game at Old Trafford.

Manchester United takes on Real Sociedad on Thursday night at Old Trafford in Group E’s opening match after just ending Arsenal’s undefeated start to the season last weekend

In the Premier League last weekend, the Red Devils defeated their rivals 3-1 to mark the end of their four games unbeaten run this season, while their rivals from Spain earned a point by drawing 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

Match preview

United’s £85.4 million signing Antony did exhibit some of the showy movement that has drawn online jeers when used against Arsenal, the slick Brazilian also showed his skill in front of goal to aid the Red Devils in extending their winning streak at the cost of Arsenal.

hBefore the pressing Arsenal team finally got their consolation via Bukayo Saka, Antony had curled home a lovely debut goal. However, the Gunners’ defense crumbled as Marcus Rashford net a brace in the second half of the game for the revitalized Red Devils.

Manchester United enters the first match of the 2022/23 Europa League having won four straight matches in the Premier League, with two top English teams Arsenal and Liverpool both fall a victim to their supremacy at Old Trafford. Man United have now recovered from their disgraceful start to journey under Erik ten Hag.

In each of their last three performances in the Europa League competition, Man United has advanced as far as the semi-finals; however, Villarreal’s skill on the penalty spot allowed them to defeat the Red Devils and win the trophy in 2021. Manchester United will now attempt to continue this perfect run of success of making it out of the group phase in the Europa League.

Manchester United and Group E easy ride

The Theatre of Dreams crowd won’t be anticipating Omonia or Sheriff Tiraspol to cause their side much problems later on in Group E. Man United’s European trip last season similarly came to a sudden end as they lost to Atletico Madrid in the last-16 of the Champions League.

Real Sociedad did not let Alvaro Morata’s early goal against Atletico Madrid depress their spirits as they rallied to draw 1-1 with Diego Simeone’s team, continuing their trend of netting one and no more than one goal in La Liga games this season.

Umar Sadiq, 25, scored quite a number of goals ffor Almeria in the spanish second division last season, so replacing Newcastle United’s newcomer Alexander Isak with him paid off right away. He headed in the equalizer barely 10 minutes after coming off the bench.

Imanol Alguacil’s team has won twice so far away from home, though they played against Cadiz and Elche rather than 20-time EnglishEnational champions Man United, and seven out of a potential 12 points is still not a bad start to the year.

Sociedad will participate in the Europa League group stage for the third time in a row in the 2022–23 season. During the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons, they successfully advanced to the knockout stages, but last year, RB Leipzig eliminated them at the last–32 stage.

Prior to that 5-4 overall loss to Die Roten Bullen, Alguacil’s team lost to Man United at the same stage of the 2020–21 competition when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer guided the Red Devils to a 4-0 victory at the Allianz Stadium and a goalless draw in the return leg at Old Trafford.

Manchester United’s record overall: LLWWWW
Form for Real Sociedad in all contests: WLWD

Team News

Luke Shaw was healthy enough to sit on the bench during Man United’s victory over Arsenal, while Anthony Martial, Facundo Pellistri, and Brandon Williams are still sidelined. Williams was not included on the Europa League roster in any case.

Rotation is expected from the hosts, possibly beginning in goal where Martin Dubravka will look to make his debut. Donny van de Beek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will need to be evaluated as they attempt to recover from injuries in time for the game.

Due to competition from players like Harry Maguire, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Casemiro for spots in the starting lineup, Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford might not be risked after their cautious withdrawals over the weekend.

Due to a broken bone in his foot, French center back Robin Le Normand has been left off the visiting team for the match on Thursday. Diego Rico, Mikel Oyarzabal, Martin Merquelanz, and Carlos Fernandez have also been ruled out. Aritz Elustondo ought to take Le Normand’s place in the center of the defense

Manchester United Predicted Lineup

Dubravka, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Antony, Fernandes, Elanga, and Ronaldo.

Real Sociedad Predicted Lineup

Remiro, Gorosabel, Zubeldia, Elustondo, Munoz, Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino, Silva, Sadiq, and Sorloth.

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Sociedad has struggled mightily thus far this year, and even if Ten Hag decides to rearrange the defensive pack, Alguacil’s team will still have their work cut out for them if they hope to worry the Red Devils’ backline.

The visitors are still difficult to defeat on occasion, but Man United will greatly benefit from Le Normand’s anticipated absence and should prevail in a close game to record their fifth straight victory.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.

Manchester United

L D L W L L
Manchester United have not been in their best performance in recent time. The red devils have only one win in their last six matches. They will be hoping to return to winning ways after the 3-1 Premier League defeat in their last game at Emirates Stadium.

In their away match at Emirates Stadium, Manchester United were outclassed by the Gunners, as the Red Devils managed 45% possession and 14 shot attempt with only 5 of them on target. Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue in 34th-minute after the visitors were 2-0 down.

While Arsenal on the other hand enjoyed 55% ball possession, had 14 shots with 7 on target. Two early goals from Nuno Tavares in the 3rd minute, and Bukayo Saka in the 32nd minute gave the gunners a comfortable lead. Bruno Fernandes failed to convert a spot-kick as Granit Xhaka sealed the victory for Arsenal in the 70th minute.

Manchester United’s recent performance has been worse than usual. They have conceded in all of their last 6 matches, amounting to 12 goals conceded in 6 matches. This is the kind of record every Chelsea fan will like to hear right now.

And lastly, Manchester United haven’t lost against Chelsea in their previous 7 league matches at home.

Chelsea are heading into the match against Manchester United as the favorite contenders. The blues recorded a slim 1-0 victory against West Ham United in the Premier League fixture on Sunday

Chelsea who welcomed West Ham United enjoyed a 67% possession and 26 shots attempt with only 5 on target. Despite the large possession of the ball, the blue’s attack was blunt firing 21 shots off-target. Thanks to Christian Pulisic’s stoppage-time goal that secured the victory for the home team. West Ham United tried to get at least a point off the current world champions, managed 33% ball possession, and got 6 attempts with only 2 on target.

Prediction

Considering their recent performance, Manchester United will need a miracle to win all 3 points against this Chelsea side. I think the best the Red devils can do is to pick a point.
I’m tipping over 1.5 goals for this match.
