Manchester United and Real Sociedad's current form

Talking about the Manchester United vs Real Sociedad upcoming match, the Old Trafford outfit will look to even the score after losing the match to the same opponent at home. On the other hand, Real Sociedad knows that a win or a draw would see them top the group. Speaking about the form in the competition, Real Sociedad has so far won all five matches and will look to do a double over Manchester United on their home ground to finish the group stage with a perfect record. On the other hand, Manchester United are three points adrift of Real Sociedad, having won four of their five games so far.

Coming to the domestic form, Real Sociedad and Manchester United are close to top four and both teams are currently fifth in their league standings after amassing a shade over 20 points. The last weekend saw Manchester United beating West Ham United at the weekend, while Real Sociedad lost 0-2 to Real Betis.
