How did we get here?
Manchester United may be having a torrid time in the Premier League and other competitions.
But in Europe, they've done just fine.
The Red Devils finished third in the League Phase table and ended that stage as the only team not to lose a single game.
It sent them through to the last 16 automatically, and they were then drawn against Real Sociedad.
Sociedad are United's first European opponents since the end of January and they'll have high hopes.
The Spanish side finished 13th in the League Phase with four wins, one draw and three losses.
But in the play-offs, they cruised through, beating Midtjylland 7-3 on aggregate to set up this tie.
It means that Man United are going to have their hands full, but they'll hope they can continue to form on the continent.

Hello and welcome to talkSPORT.com's live blog of Real Sociedad vs Manchester United in the Europa League last 16!
This competition represents Man United's only chance of getting into the Champions League, considering they are in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
It would also give Ruben Amorim the chance to win a trophy, with the FA Cup no longer an option after Fulham defeated the Red Devils on penalties at the weekend.
It was the latest setback in a shambolic season for United, but the Europa League is still an opportunity.
Under the new format, no Champions League sides have dropped into the competition, meaning the Red Devils are still one of the strongest sides remaining.
However, this won't be an easy task after Sociedad thrashed FC Midtjylland in the last round, while they are still in the hunt for European places in LaLiga.
