Manchester United take their stumbling form into Europe on Thursday, traveling to San Sebastian Turin to face Real Sociedad in the Europa League round of 32. At the time the draw was made for this first knockout round, the Basque side were flying high at the top of La Liga — they’ve since fallen to fifth. That may not help United, as Sociedad may be less likely now to play a below-full-strength side.

United on the other hand, will be forced into changes. Paul Pogba remains sidelined for at least another 2 weeks, while both Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani have not traveled to Italy after picking muscle injuries at the weekend. Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay will also be late calls due to injury. On the bright side, promising young talents Amad Diallo and Shola Shoretire are both in the traveling party, and because of expanded matchday squads in the Europa League, both teenage attackers will be available to make their senior debuts off the bench, at least.
