Real Sociedad chief insists Man United have an 'unfair' advantage after their home leg of Europa League last-32 tie was moved to Turin due to Covid travel rules... but Red Devils will still host LaLiga side at Old Trafford

Real Sociedad's director of football Roberto Olabe has hit out at UEFA after they moved the first leg of their Europa League clash with Manchester United to Turin – with the return leg still being played at Old Trafford.

The two sides were due to meet at Real Sociedad's Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian next Thursday but strict travel restrictions in Spain will prevent Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side from travelling to the Basque region of the country.

Current travel restrictions in Spain, implemented due to the ongoing battle against Covid-19, mean that visitors from the United Kingdom are currently not permitted to enter the country.
