Real Sociedad are without their star midfielders David Silva and Asier Illarramendi for their Europa League Round of 32 trip to Old Trafford.
The Basque side are 4-0 down from last week’s first leg in Turin – the home leg for La Real due to the Spanish travel ban on UK visitors – with Manchester United overwhelming favourites to progress.

The home side are also much changed with captain Harry Maguire, left-back Luke Shaw, goalkeeper David De Gea and forward Marcus Rashford among the players rested.
However, inspirational midfielder Bruno Fernandes captains the hosts – who are among the favourites for this season’s competition having been defeated by Sevilla at the semi-final stage last season.
La Real face Real Madrid in the upcoming weekend’s La Liga action.
