In the Round of 16 of the Europa League, the first match between Real Sociedad and Manchester United will take place at Reale Arena in San Sebastián. In the previous round, the hosts eliminated Midtjylland (5-2, 2-1). The visitors finished third in the overall group stage standings, allowing them to skip the first playoff round. The opponents have met twice before in the tournament. In the 2020/21 Round of 32, the Red Devils dominated the Basques with a 4-0 victory in Turin, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a brace. In the 2022/23 Group E campaign, the Premier League side secured a narrow 1-0 win in Spain with a goal in the seventeenth minute. Additionally, the Royal Club hosted the English side in the 2013/14 Champions League group stage, with the teams sharing the points in a goalless draw after Robin van Persie missed a penalty.

This season, Brais Méndez has recorded five goal contributions, while Orri Óskarsson has scored four goals. Since their debut in the competition half a century ago, the White and Blues have reached the Round of 16 only four times before this campaign.

Manchester United recorded away draws against Porto (3-3) and Fenerbahçe (1-1) in the general stage, while also securing wins against Viktoria Plzeň (2-1) and Steaua (2-0).
