Manchester United is finally starting to look like that old club that successfully trampled everything in front of them for years. After starting the new season with back-to-back defeats, the Red Devils expected a game against their biggest rival, Liverpool. After the 4-0 loss at Brentford, coach Erik ten Haag benched Ronaldo and Maguire among others, but still earned a deserved 2-1 victory over the Reds. That victory obviously raised the confidence of the players, because after that, everything has been fine for United. Southampton and Leicester City were beaten 1-0 in sovereign fashion, with the strongest performance so far coming at the weekend. Manchester welcomed Arsenal, who had five wins from five games before the match with Manchester. Many predicted another victory for Arsenal, but the recovered United played perhaps the best game so far. Antony was in the team from the first minute and he showed that he will be a huge reinforcement for this big club. Although playing in the Europa League is not satisfactory for all Manchester fans, it is the current reality considering the games you showed last year. They are in a group with Real Sociedad, Sheriff and Omonia, and today's opponent will be their main rival for the first place in the group, which secures the round of 16 of the Europa League. The atmosphere in the team is at an unprecedented level lately, and it is precisely this momentum that the United players must use in order to win three points on their home field and thus open the season in Europe in the best possible way.

Real Sociedad did not open the season badly in Spain, but it would be worrying if they won less points considering the teams they played. They achieved two victories against Cadiz and Elche, while in the matches against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona they won only one point. At the moment, at least in my opinion, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, as well as Manchester United, are a better team than Sociedad and you can see the difficulties in the game of today's guests when they meet high quality teams. In four games in the championship, they managed to score only four goals, and this is where the lack of options in Sociedad's game is most visible. Alexander Isak and Adnan Januzaj, who were the main option in the attack in previous years, left the club. Umar Sadiq arrived at the club and although he managed to score a goal in the first match, I think he will need more time to get along with the rest of his teammates, especially when it comes to such big games. Sociedad's attack will have great problems breaking through United's excellent defense, which has been playing great lately in the composition of Varane, Malacia, Martinez and Dalot. None of the teams have problems with new player injuries and they can be expected to come out with the best squads, but in this match I have to give the advantage to Manchester United because I really believe that at this moment they are a better team than the guests from Spain.
