Spanish side Real Sociedad have grabbed an unlikely victory over Manchester United in both sides' first fixture of the 2022/23 Europa League season.
Manchester United succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of their Spanish visitors courtesy of a 59th-minute penalty from Brais Mendez.
Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq made his Europa League debut against the Red Devils, making his mark in the first 45 minutes of the match at Old Trafford.
Real Sociedad came into the match flying high having lost just one game all season, a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona, and the Imanol Alguacil-led side showed their intent to play from the start.
Alguacil chose to start with new signing Sadiq as the lone striker with the duo of Takefusa Kubo and David Silva providing creativity from midfield.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag also handed Cristiano Ronaldo his second start of the season while also recalling Harry Maguire to the starting line-up in their Europa League bow.
