When Manchester United were paired with Real Sociedad back in December, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer declared: 'It sounds like a Champions League draw.'
Indeed it does and while United remain the bookmakers' favourites to go all the way and win the Europa League, they must first overcome the not inconsiderable hurdle of a Sociedad side that topped LaLiga when that draw was made.
United have managed to gain a small advantage in Thursday night's first leg being switched from their Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian to the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
