Manchester United’s Europa League clash with Real Sociedad comes at a crucial moment, with silverware hopes now resting entirely on the competition.
Following their FA Cup exit to Fulham, United travel to Spain on Thursday for the first leg of their round of 16 tie against the La Liga side.
Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro has added extra spice to the fixture, suggesting that United struggle to rediscover their former dominance.
Speaking to The Guardian, the Spaniard noted similarities between the two clubs, stating that while United have talented players, something always seems to go wrong.

Remiro highlighted the inconsistency plaguing the team, mentioning that a sustained winning run has eluded them despite potential under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim.
United’s Premier League struggles have seen them drop to 14th in the table, sitting 34 points behind leaders Liverpool in what has been another difficult campaign.
The expectation following their FA Cup triumph last season was a push for Champions League qualification, but instead, performances declined, leading to Ten Hag’s dismissal in October.
Amorim, who arrived from Sporting Clube de Portugal, has yet to fully instill his philosophy, but ahead of the Sociedad clash, he remains adamant about sticking to his system.
The Portuguese coach defended his tactical approach, insisting that the structure itself is not the issue, but rather the way the team executes it.
