Man Utd qualified for this stage of the competition after finishing third in the newly revamped league phase and are actually unbeaten in Europe so far this season, winning their last five matches in a row.

However, they could certainly do with a pick-me-up given their FA Cup fifth-round exit on penalties to Fulham at the weekend, which means their only hope of winning a trophy and securing European football for next season now rests on the Europa League.

Sociedad required a two-legged knockout phase play-off to secure a spot in the round of 16 as they beat Danish outfit FC Midtjylland 7-3 on aggregate.

Although the Spanish side go into this evening’s game at the Reale Arena on the back of a heavy 4-0 loss to Barcelona as well as losing 1-0 to Real Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final. It’s a fixture that both teams will feel they need to win.
