Manchester United vs Real Sociedad live early team news plus kick-off time and how to watch

Manchester United will be hoping to advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League when they welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford for the second-leg of their last-16 tie tonight, kick-off 8pm.

The two sides met in San Sebastián a week ago and played out a 1-1 draw, meaning everything is still to play for heading into tonight's showdown. Sociedad earned themselves a draw last week after Mikel Oyarzabal converted a penalty to cancel out Joshua Zirkzee's opener.

Sitting 14th in the Premier League table and out of both domestic cup competitions, United need to win the Europa League to salvage something from what has otherwise been a forgettable campaign. Winning the competition would secure Champions League qualification for next term.

United could welcome midfield enforcer Manuel Ugarte back into the fold tonight after missing the last two games through injury. However, Leny Yoro will be unavailable for selection, likewise fellow defender Harry Maguire.

If tonight's contest is level after 90 minutes, the tie will go to extra-time and potentially penalties to determine who will progress.
