Manchester United to Play without Maguire and Ugarte
The absence of this two players means that United will be playing the Spanish side without half of their starting line up as they are all injured. The duo are “unlikely” to be involved in the Europa league match against Sociedad, although the issues aren’t thought to be severe.
Maguire was forced off during extra time against Fulham. After the defeat to the Cottagers over the weekend, United coach Amorim stated: “I have to see how Harry Maguire is. It’s a tough moment in that aspect, but we have to move on. We will be a competitive team on Thursday.”
Following their elimination from the FA Cup, the Europa League is now the only competition left for Manchester United to secure a trophy. Manchester United are currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League standings which is on course of becoming their worst-ever season in the top-flight since 1973-74.
