Thu Mar 06 16:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Manchester United Seek Europa League Revival Against Sociedad
**San Sebastián, Spain** – Manchester United travel to Spain hoping to reignite their Europa League campaign against Real Sociedad tonight at 5:45 PM GMT. The Red Devils arrive in San Sebastián following a disappointing FA Cup exit against Fulham, making three changes to their starting lineup due to injury and tactical decisions. Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte are injured, while Christian Eriksen starts on the bench, with Patrick Dorgu, Casemiro, and Alejandro Garnacho taking their places.
United’s history against Sociedad offers some hope. While Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro recalls a humiliating 4-0 defeat to United in 2021 (a game he described as a turning point for his team’s focus on physicality), the Red Devils also secured a win in San Sebastián in 2022 and drew there in 2013. This positive record provides a morale boost as United look to overcome their recent struggles.
Sociedad, however, will be eager to make amends for their own recent form, having suffered a 4-0 loss to Barcelona. While captain Mikel Oyarzabal returns from injury, they will be without star midfielder Martín Zubimendi due to illness.
The match presents a significant opportunity for United to revitalize their season and keep their Europa League ambitions alive. Despite Sociedad’s current mid-table position in La Liga, the game promises to be a closely contested affair, with the outcome far from certain.
