There was a star man, on the left hand side; he played for Man United, and his name was Januzaj. Good evening everyone and welcome to the game that everyone seems to be calling the Adnan Januzaj derby, fifty percent of which is based on the fleeting promise he showed for United in the immediate Wilderness Years after Ferguson’s departure. The remaining half is courtesy of Januzaj now doing his bit in the Basque Country, where Sociedad currently sit fifth in La Liga after a heady period prior to Christmas where they topped the table. With United currently second in the Premier League, this makes for the tastiest square go in the Europa League round of 32. We’re relocated to Turin for this evening’s fun and games, and we’ll be away at five to six.

Highlights

That's full-time in Turin.

90+5'

Martial finds Mata on the edge of the area, whose low shot is held by Remiro.

90+3'

We are now into five additional minutes in Turin.

90'

GOAL! Real Sociedad 0 Manchester United 4 (James 90)

United race through with one long pass again. Bailly sends it down the right wing to James, who cuts in all the way from the touchline and shoots through Remiro to make it four. It's a rout.

Goal

D. James

Manchester United

89'

Monreal is booked for a ludicrously late challenge on James.

86'

Bautista replaces Oyarzabal for Sociedad.

84'

Two subs combine here for Sociedad, as Portu crosses to the near post and Barrenetxea's header is deflected into the hands of Henderson.

83'

Two changes for United; it's a debut for Amad Diallo as he replaces Greenwood, while Juan Mata is on for Fernandes.

82'

This is a duck shoot. James and Wan-Bissaka combine superbly down the right and feed Greenwood on the left. He cuts inside his man but bobbles a shot wide.

80'

CHANCE! United cut Sociedad open again, as Rashford slides James in on the right. He runs clean through into the area and Remiro again saves with his feet.

79'

Two more changes for Sociedad as Portu comes on for Januzaj and Barrenetxea for Isak.

76'

Greenwood almost gets James in with a ball from left to right, but Remiro is out quickly to head clear.

74'

Two changes for Sociedad here, as Guevara and Gorosabel replace Illarramendi and Zaldua.

73'

United are having fun now. A stepover from Greenwood leaves Illarramendi in his wake and his shot to the near post is turned around by Remiro.

70'

Zaldua concedes a corner, and it looks like he's done his hamstring in the process.

69'

Another change for United as Martial replaces Rashford.

68'

DISALLOWED GOAL! United have got the ball in the net again, with Greenwood squaring for James to tap in, but Greenwood was offside when Rashford played him through.

65'

GOAL! Real Sociedad 0 Manchester United 3 (Rashford 65)

There it is! United win the ball back near their own area, and one long pass from Fred splits the Sociedad defends and sends Rashford clean through. Rashford calms himself and slots the ball past Remiro and into the bottom corner.

Goal

M. Rashford

Manchester United

63'

United are thoroughly in charge here, and more look likely on the break.

60'

A change for United as Matic replaces McTominay.
