The Europa League continues on Thursday night with some ties nicely poised ahead of the second leg. Manchester United v Real Sociedad is one of them after a 1-1 draw last week.
With Manchester United out of the FA Cup and well off the pace in the Premier League, Ruben Amorim must win this competition if he wants to take any real positives from this season.
PP ambassador Joe Cole joined us ahead of the game to let us know how he thinks it will go down in Manchester on Thursday. Let’s get his Manchester United v Real Sociedad betting tips.
Joe’s player pick is also covered by Paddy’s Super Sub offer, which means that if a player is substituted, the pick carries over to his replacement.

Manchester United are so hard to predict. They are like a boxer behind on points in round 10, who comes to his stool and is being told they need a knockout to win.
To salvage this season from being an absolute disaster, they must win this competition. The fans know that and will drive them on Thursday night. The players have shown that they do have enough tenacity to beat Real Sociedad, and I think they will.
The visitors have enough quality to score a goal at Old Trafford, but I think the hosts will outscore them.
I mention it every week, but when you think of Manchester United at the moment, you think of Bruno Fernandes. He has been their pantomime hero in recent games, and they need him to continue and not turn into a villain.
He will score or assist.
