Manchester United travel to Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday night with both sides already qualified for the knockout stages.

The Spanish side are top of Group E by three points, with Sociedad winning all five of their fixtures. They also have a better goal difference than United.

Should the Red Devils win at Sociedad on Thursday, both sides will be level on points – and the group winner will be decided by the head-to-head record.

Sociedad won 1-0 at Old Trafford last month, so United need to win by two goals to top the group.

If the home side draw or lose by one goal, they will top the group and United will have to play a two-legged Europa League play-off.

United come into this one on the back of their 1-0 win against West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Marcus Rashford heading home the winner.

Sociedad, meanwhile, have lost their last two La Liga games against Valladolid and Real Betis, so United will fancy their chances on Thursday night.

Our prediction: Real Sociedad v Man Utd

United need to win by two goals at Sociedad, so Erik ten Hag’s side will be all-out attack in Spain.

It could leave gaps for Sociedad to exploit on the counter attack but United are creating a lot of chances under ten Hag and they’ll be confident of converting a couple of them.

Our prediction: Real Sociedad 1-3 Man Utd (16/1 at bet365)
