How to watch Manchester United vs Real Sociedad with TV channel and live stream for Europa League fixture

Manchester United are riding the crest of a wave right now after their win over Arsenal last time out.

The 3-1 victory over the table-topping Gunners made it four wins on the spin for Erik ten Hag's rejuvenated side. They now take a brief break from Premier League duties as attention switches to European commitments.

They are back in the Europa League this season, a competition they won back in 2017, and Real Sociedad represent the first test in the group stage. The Spaniards visit Old Trafford on Thursday night and here is all you need to know ahead of the game.

The Manchester Evening News will bring you live updates on our matchday blog.

What are the odds?

United are heavy favourites to seal the win on matchday one, with thepools.com pricing them up at 8/13. The visitors are 17/4 to come away with all three points whilst a draw is chalked up at 3/1.

Early team news

Ten Hag is likely to shuffle his pack for this game and so the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire could well earn recalls to the starting XI. Casemiro, one of six summer arrivals, could be handed a first start against opposition he will know well from his time at Real Madrid.

Doubts remain over Antony Martial (Achilles) after he sat out the last three matches.
