Team News

Manchester United
Man United's Lisandro Martinez (knee), Amad Diallo (ankle), Kobbie Mainoo (calf), Luke Shaw, Mason Mount (both hamstring), Jonny Evans (muscle), Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton (both unspecified) and Chido Obi-Martin (ineligible) are all unavailable for selection.

Leny Yoro was taken off at half time in last weekend's draw with Arsenal with a foot injury and the youngster is now a doubt along with Harry Maguire (knock), while Amorim is hopeful that Manuel Ugarte (knock) will be fit to return to the matchday squad after missing the last two games.

Patrick Dorgu is serving a domestic ban but he is available for Europa League duty and is expected to be recalled at left-back, while Amorim will weigh up whether to recall out-of-form striker Rasmus Hojlund or stick with Christian Eriksen and Alejandro Garnacho in behind Zirkzee.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Mazraoui; Dalot, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee

Real Sociedad
As for Real Sociedad, Jon Pacheco (muscle) remains sidelined, while Luka Sucic (knee) and Jon Aramburu (foot) were unable to participate in training on Monday and have emerged as major doubts for the trip to Old Trafford.

However, Alvaro Odriozola and Arsen Zakharyan have both overcome fitness issues and could be in contention to feature in some capacity on Thursday, while star midfielder Martin Zubimendi is set to start after recovering from an illness that forced him to miss the first leg.

After beginning as substitutes against Sevilla, Oyarzabal, Takefusa Kubo and Ander Barrenetxea are all expected to be recalled in attack at the expense of Orri Oskarsson, Sheraldo Becker and ex-Man City man Sergio Gomez.
Real Sociedad possible starting lineup:
Remiro; Elustondo, Zubeldia, Aguerd, Munoz; Turrientes, Zubimendi, Mendez; Kubo, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea
Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Real Sociedad (Man Utd to win 2-1 after extra time and 3-2 on aggregate)
