Manchester United and Real Sociedad duel at Old Trafford in the Europa League continued on Thursday, September 8. Both teams will be looking to kick off their Group E campaign with a win this week
Manchester United are on a four-game winning streak in the Premier League, although they are still conceding chances and with a change to their usual back line expected on Thursday, they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet against dangerous side Real Sociedad in this Group E opener.
However, Erik ten Hag's men have scored in all but one of their six competitive fixtures this season, and they should be able to maintain that incredible run in front of a packed Old Trafford. With that in mind, it's back to both teams to score in Manchester.
United's domestic campaign has been packed with fixtures so far and Erik ten Hag could take the opportunity to shuffle his pack on Thursday for a visit to Real Sociedad. Changes to the XI will likely lead to some disconnects and it may take the hosts some time to get started.
Real Sociedad don't give up easily and they have only trailed at half-time in one of their four stints since the summer. The technically savvy Spaniards could make life awkward for United this week and betting on the visitors in the first half is an attractive double market opportunity at the price offered.
