My mistake, have not been following soccer for some time.

Away goals advantage has indeed been removed.

Outright win will be required, or will extra time into penalties.
Nonetheless, I still think Man Utd good enough to go through.

But no expectations, won't be surprised if they don't.

Yes, the away-goals rule was abolished a few years ago....but the matches still hv to be played twice, home n away to determine the winning team

Will expect Real Sociedad to soak and counter to break the back 3.
If Man Utd scores first, Real Sociedad will probably go heavy on attack to get at least 2 goals to go through.

Feel there is a better than average chance Man Utd can get this game.

Meanwhile, there is the RAT stirring things up with saying some players are overpaid and over-rated.
Not the player's fault if the club went dumb and gave them that salary.
If it was me and the club wanted to give me a high salary even if I did not think I deserve it, not like I will say too much too much.

Rough times ahead for Man Utd supporters.

Like I said before, Man Utd is so bad so any win is a bonus.
So no expectations, no disappointments.

They shd be able to get thru with Bruno's free kicks etc, etc ...only thing is banana GK don't fumble again...if the team loses it is because he makes errors leading to the ball going past him into his net

can't compare with Alisson.

I feel no point starting Hojlund next time.
He shows total lack of confidence and most times, LOST.
But I was thinking maybe let Garnacho be the main man. The attacking outlet. Free to shoot or pass.
The secret weapon will come in the form of Mazraoui.
Put him further up. His stamina is simply amazing.
A few times he comes in from behind, even outrun the forwards.
He also calls for the ball a few times, showing he is confident of making things happen.

Yes, of course, he is not up to Alisson std yet...wat I meant was for this match only

As for hojlund, if I m the manager, I will bench him n not play him unless there is no choice...or until see him convince in training
