How to watch today's Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Europa League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Ousted from all domestic cup competitions, Manchester United make the trip to Reale Arena to face Real Sociedad in the first leg tie of the Europa League round of 16 stage on Thursday.

Ruben Amorim's men were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after a quarter-final defeat to Spurs in December, before Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round defeat on penalties against Fulham.

While United were spared of playing in the Europa League knockout phase play-offs, Real Sociedad overcame FC Midtjylland 7-3 on aggregate to make it here.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Real Sociedad team news

The hosts will be without Jon Pacheco and Arsen Zakharyan due to injuries, while Alvaro Odriozola is doubtful.

Sheraldo Becker and Takefusa Kubo are back from their domestic bans, with Martin Zubimendi and Jon Aramburu available for selection after serving their European ban in the second-leg win over Midtjylland.

Mikel Oyarzabal faces competition from Orri Oskarsson for a spot in the attack.

Manchester United team news

Amorim has a lengthy list of absentees, including Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Altay Bayindir, Jonny Evans and Toby Collyer, while Harry Maguire and Tom Heaton remain doubts.

Without Maguire, Victor Lindelof could occupy the central defensive position alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro, while the involvement of both Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho going forward is likely to see either Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee start on the bench.

Patrick Dorgu is in line to make his European debut for United, but Chido Obi-Martin is ineligible as he was not among those registered in the Europa League squads submitted last month.
