Manchester United are looking for their fifth win on the trot as they welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford for a Europa League Group E contest on Thursday. United's big-money signing Antony wowed with a goal on his debut in the 3-1 win over Arsenal last weekend and with Cristiano Ronaldo 'ready to start', it will be a tough ask for Sociedad, who are likely to be without Robin Le Normand.
The Red Devils appear to have turned a corner under Erik ten Hag following a desperate start to the campaign and they will be eager to carry their domestic form into Europe.
