Manchester United 0-0 Real Sociedead: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men through to last-16 after bore draw

Daily Mail  

Shola Shoretire became Manchester United's youngest ever player in Europe, but that was about the only thing of significance on an otherwise uneventful night at Old Trafford. Mikel Oyarzabal missed a first-half penalty as Manchester United drew with Real Sociedad in the return leg at Old Trafford Axel Tuanzebe looked to have nodded United into the lead but his superb header was chalked off for a foul by Victor Lindelof Lindelof had caught Jon Bautista on the head with his knee as he jumped to challenge for Alex Telles' inviting delivery MATCH FACTS AND PLAYER RATINGS MAN UTD : Henderson 6; Wan-Bissaka 6.5, Bailly 6, Lindelof 7, Telles 6.5; Matic 6, Fred 6 ; Greenwood 6.5, Fernandes 7, James 6 ; Martial Subs not used: De Gea, Grant, Bishop, Maguire, Shaw, Galbraith Booked: Fred, Lindelof, Williams Manager: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 6 REAL SOCIEDAD : Remiro 7; Gorosabel 6, Zubeldia 6.5, Sagnan 6, Munoz 6; Zubimendi 5.5, Guevara 6.5, Merino 6; Januzaj 7, Isak 6.5, Oyarzabal 4.5 Subs not used: Marrero, Zeberio, Portu, Monreal, Lopez, Gonzalez Manager: Imanol Alguacil 6 Referee: Lawrence Visser 7 It's some honour at a club that prides itself on giving youth a chance, and particularly so when it comes to Europe. Daniel James was caught the wrong side of Andoni Gorosabel and conceded the spot-kick after bringing down the full back Sociedad threatened after missing the penalty and centre half Lindelof timed his tackle to perfection ahead of Alexander Isak James latched on to Bruno Fernandes' delicate lofted ball but goalkeeper Alex Remiro was able to parry his fine header away The Portugal star hit the bar of an unguarded net after Fred had beaten goalkeeper Alejandro Remiro to Greenwood's pass and teed up Fernandes, who then provided a wonderful cross for James to test Remiro with a header from close-range. Adnan Januzaj looked to catch the eye at his former club and had posed a danger throughout his bright first-half performance Fernandes was handed a surprise start at Old Trafford and sported the captain's armband in the absence of Harry Maguire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer roared his team on as United looked to build on the comprehensive first leg lead they picked up in Turin Marcus Rashford was brought on during the interval and soon fizzed a devilish free-kick from close range narrowly off target Sociedad hit the woodwork in the second half when Modibo Sagnan clipped a header goal-wards following a clever flick-on It mattered little to the overall result and for the second season in a row United cruised into the last-16 on the back of a big first-leg advantage knowing greater tests lie ahead. Anthony Martial flashed an effort just wide of the target as United looked to add a fifth goal to their handsome aggregate lead Shola Shoretire was substituted on in the second half and became the youngest ever player to feature in Europe for United Sportsmail's DANIEL DAVIS provided live Europa League coverage of Manchester United vs Real Sociedad, as well as Leicester vs Slavia Prague, including the scoreline, lineups and build-up.
