Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Match Preview
Manchester United have never conceded in four previous meetings with Real Sociedad (W2 D2), facing no side more often in their history without conceding a goal.

Manchester United are currently unbeaten across their last 18 home matches in the UEFA Europa League (W14 D4), starting with victory against FC Midtjylland in February 2016 – this run follows on from losing both of their first two home matches in the competition in 2012.
Real Sociedad’s David Silva has three goals and two assists in eight appearances against Manchester United at Old Trafford, all coming in the Premier League with Manchester City between 2011 and 2019.
