'For me, there is only one big club, which is ours': Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil takes cheeky swipe at Manchester United before Europa League clash and says his team will 'go for it' against Erik ten Hag's side

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has started a war of words with Manchester United ahead of the two clubs' Europa League clash.

Alguacil, who has been in charge of Sociedad since 2018, made a cheeky jibe against United in his pre-match press conference by stating: 'For me, there is only one big club, which is ours.'
