It was never going to be an easy night, but Manchester United simply weren't good enough against Real Sociedad...
Thursday nights in the Europa League can work both ways for whichever poor, unfortunate Big Sixers happen to find themselves in there.
Real Sociedad at home was a sub-optimal opening game; genuinely dangerous opposition and the likeliest rival for top spot, yet a game where anything less than a win really won’t suffice. The nature of the goal will be particularly galling for United, a penalty that should surely have been overturned by VAR as David Silva’s shot deflected off Lisandro Martinez’s knee and into his arm.But if the goal was controversial and fortunate, it was hard to argue that La Real’s overall performance didn’t merit something.
It will be little comfort to United that Sociedad are a good side. This was their third away win of the season already having beaten Cadiz and Elche in La Liga, and last weekend held Atletico Madrid to a 1-1 draw despite falling behind early.
