Match preview for Manchester United V Real Sociedad
There was finally an exciting news outside the field for fans of Manchester United this week, but now the focus is on Ruben Amorim’s fight to make progress with his wrestling team.
United announced plans for a new £ 2 billion stadium, 100,000 seats yesterday next to Old Trafford. United Hope Construction will last five years, although they have not yet promised to a start date.
It is an ambitious project, especially after the owner of minorities Sir Jim Ratcliffe admitted the day before the club was admitted in a difficult financial state.
Amorim and his players were able to help by finding a route to the Champions League.
That will certainly not happen via the Premier League with United Mired in 14th place after Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal, which means that their best chance is in the Europa League.
Last week’s 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in the first stage of their Europa League round of 16 ties sees them return tomorrow night to Old Trafford as favorites to continue to the quarterfinals.
Sociedad is due to a bad form of form – they have lost three and pulled one of their last four and were hit by Sevilla on Sunday.
