Predicted Man Utd line-up vs Sociedad tonight

Manchester United host Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 tonight.

The Red Devils played out a 1-1 draw against Sociedad on the road last week. They will be aiming to beat them with home advantage.

Ahead of the game, we anticipate three changes to the starting XI.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

Andre Onana is guaranteed to start between the sticks for United. Altay Bayindir is injured at the moment.

In central defence, Noussair Mazraoui could partner Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof with Leny Yoro ruled out with an injury.

Diogo Dalot is poised to start at right wing-back. Patrick Dorgu should occupy the left wing-back position against Sociedad.

In midfield, Casemiro should make way for Manuel Ugarte, who is back to full fitness. Bruno Fernandes is expected to partner him.

Alejandro Garnacho could play alongside Joshua Zirkzee in attacking midfield tonight. Christian Eriksen should drop to the bench.

Rasmus Hojlund has not scored for the last 20 games in all competitions for United, but should get another chance to lead the line.

Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Sociedad: Onana; Lindelof, De Ligt, Mazraoui; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Garnacho, Zirkzee; Hojlund.
