Manchester United will face Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday night. United posted a fourth successive Premier League win for the first time since April 2021 with a victory over the table-topping Gunners, meaning confidence remains high in the camp ahead of the start of the group stage fixtures later this week.
United missed out on qualification for the Champions League this season, meaning a good Europa League campaign could result in them returning to Europe’s premier club competition next season.
The Reds, who reached the final of the Europa League last year, losing to Villarreal on penalties at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, will be confident of making a winning start to their group stage schedule when they face Real Sociedad on Thursday night.
The win over Arsenal highlighted the progress that they are making under Erik ten Hag and they will be keen to keep that going.
