Manchester United face Real Sociedad on Thursday evening in their final Europa League group game.
The Red Devils have already secured their spot in the knockout rounds, but top spot remains up for grabs.
Sociedad are two points above United with a three-better goal difference, so a win by two goals would see United top the group.

Manchester United team news vs Real Sociedad
Anthony Martial
Martial has only played four games this season, with his most recent injury a back issue that has seen him sidelined for several weeks.
However, the Frenchman has returned to training this week and is in contention to feature vs Sociedad.
Victor Lindelof
Lindelof missed out vs West Ham due to illness, but Erik ten Hag hopes to have him back available on Thursday.
Antony
Anthony was also out vs the Hammers with a knock, he too is expected to return this week.
On Lindelof and Antony, Ten Hag said: “I think they will recover but I can’t tell you any more.”
“We have to see what develops in the coming days and how they progress but I hope, when we go to Spain, everyone is on board. We need them all. There are still four games to go in a short period. You see it’s tough for all teams, but also for us, we need 11 players and we need the squad to cover everything.”
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Wan-Bissaka has had a back issue that has seen him miss the majority of 2022/23 and he is once again sidelined for this game.
Raphael Varane
Manchester United played Chelsea on October 20, drawing the match 1-1, and Raphael Varane was forced off with an injury in the second 45.
It has been reported that Raphael Varane’s injury is less serious than first feared. He has a lesion of the femoral bicep (hamstring). But if he is selected for France’s World Cup squad, he would probably miss the first match against Australia.
This suggested that Varane would miss Manchester United’s next six matches before the World Cup in November. Ten Hag then confirmed this in his presser: “He will be out until the World Cup.”
