Manchester United’s dream start to the season is in the air. Arsenal’s five-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League was finally shattered by a dominant United side when Old Trafford crowd saw them winning against them with a 3-1 score line.
Real Sociedad currently sits on the 9th position in La Liga with 7 points having won two games, one drawn and one lost against the Spanish Giants- Barcelona. United on the other hand comes right at the fifth point with a three point gap with the league leaders- Arsenal. The last time these two faced each other in the same competition, the game ended with United running the show. United faced Real Sociedad in the round of 32 with the first leg being played at the Old Trafford. The end result was United winning with a 4-0 score line and Bruno Fernandes scoring a brace.
Marcus Rashford who is once again showing his worth in the Premier League has bagged 3 goals and 2 assists in just 4 league games. Marcus Rashford will once again prove serious threat to his opponents who will leave no chance to increasing his scoring record.
Antony opened his United career with a bang as he scored against their bitter rivals, Arsenal. This paves the way for Erik Ten Hag to give him the greenlight. Ronaldo might get the opportunity to mark his first Europa League appearance. Along with Ronaldo featuring in this contest for the very first time, Casemiro might get his first starting XI opportunity. However, Martinez and Varane looks like the obvious answer to feature in the United defensive half.
