Real Sociedad and Manchester United drew the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie 1-1 at the Basque side's Reale Arena.

Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal coolly netted a penalty to hold Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in a Europa League last 16 first leg clash on Thursday. Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee netted his first goal in five games to send Ruben Amorim's side ahead at the Reale Arena before the hour mark but Bruno Fernandes conceded a penalty for handball,

There were few chances for either side in a scrappy opening period, Andre Onana ending the half without having to make a single save. United’s best moment was a brief flurry of chances in the 37th minute when first Bruno Fernandes and then Joshua Zirkzee (twice) came close to giving Ruben Amorim’s side the lead.
