Alejandro Garnacho Is Starting | 3-4-2-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs Real Sociedad | OneFootball

Manchester United are preparing to travel abroad to face Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 this week. The former side had to face a defeat against Fulham in penalties in the fifth round of the FA Cup in their previous game.

Ruben Amorim has little time to fix and regroup his men to do well in the upcoming fixture. The game against the Spanish outfit will be extremely important to set the template for the rest of their campaign. Moreover, they will lock horns with Arsenal after this game.

Defence

Andre Onana will be operating between the sticks for United once again. He needs to step up for his side without a doubt.

United are sweating over the fitness of Harry Maguire, who seemed to have picked a fresh injury. Noussair Mazraoui could be used in the three-man defensive line to fill the veteran’s spot. Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro are the other two centre-backs.

Midfield

While Diogo Dalot is continuing as the right wing-back, Ruben Amorim should call Patrick Dorgu for the left full-back role.

Bruno Fernandes might be paired up with Manuel Ugarte in the middle of the park, leaving no place for Christian Eriksen.

Attack

Alejandro Garnacho is likely to be deployed in the attacking areas and will have the company of Joshua Zirkzee. Interestingly, though Rasmus Hojlund is facing a goal drought, he could be lucky to find himself on the starting XI list once again.
