Europa League highlights: Man United vs Real Sociedad ends goalless, Red Devils edge forward 

Man United hosted Spanish giants Real Sociedad for the second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men had already bagged a massive four-goal lead in the first leg last week. Although the hosts could not extend their lead further, they made sure that they make it to the next round with ease. 

Man United dominated a significant part of the game, maintaining 58% possession in all. The hosts had four shots on target but failed to net it past the goal line. Sociedad did have the opportunity to cut down on the lead when Daniel James' foul led to a penalty. But Mikel Oyarbazal could not convert from the spot. 

In the 64th minute, Axel Tuanzebe headed the ball home following a thrilling Alex Telles header. But a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check ruled out the goal after Victor Lindelof fouled Jon Bautista. The match stood goalless at the final whistle, with Man United advancing through into the Europa League round of 16.
