Ruben Amorim's Manchester United managed a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad, keeping their UEFA Europa League hopes alive, yet they missed a chance to take a commanding lead. Both teams exhibited goal-scoring challenges, with United showing brief moments of control but lacking the composure needed in critical moments. Despite a depleted squad and a commendable performance for 70 minutes, the match underscored United's persistent goal-scoring issues. The upcoming second leg at Old Trafford holds significant importance for both teams, especially Sociedad seeking their first quarterfinal spot since 1989.
Granted, there's not much competition, but you could argue that for 70 minutes this was one of United's best performances under Amorim.
If United could score, this tie might have been over ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford next week.
It could be better, but could be worse because in the last 20 minutes I thought the team were really tired.
This was a game which pitted the Premier League's sixth lowest scorers against the third lowest scorers in LaLiga.
