It is Europa League or bust for Manchester United ahead of their trip to face Real Sociedad in the first leg of their last 16 tie this week. Ruben Amorim's side was dumped out of the FA Cup by Fulham at the weekend, which means their only hope of qualifying for Europe relies on winning the Europa League and securing a place in the Champions League instead.
United have little choice to rotate their squad either, after 10 players missed the weekend defeat. Patrick Dorgu is eligible to play in Europe competition as he deserves a domestic suspension, but Chido Obi is not registered to feature in the competition.
It means Rasmus Hojlund should get another chance to end his goal drought, but there will be two changes to the line up with Manuel Ugarte and Harry Maguire both set to miss the match. Here is how we think United should line up vs Real Sociedad:
