Manchester United will face Real Sociedad in their final game of the group stage of the Europa League at the Estadio Anoeta. Head coach Erik ten Hag has made a few changes to the starting lineup that will face Real Sociedad.

United, who were defeated by West Ham United in the first meeting between the two teams back in September by a score of 1-0 at Old Trafford, will be looking to build on their hard-fought 1-0 victory over West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday. Marcus Rashford scored the lone goal of the game, which allowed Manchester United to extend their win streak across all competitions to eight games. Because of this, Ten Hag will be looking for his team to continue their recent run of good form tonight, as they aim for a two-goal victory margin to win Group E and avoid having to compete in an unwelcome two-legged play-off fixture in February in order to try and advance to the last 16. The Dutch manager decided to shake up the lineup of the team that prevailed on Sunday by making a total of three substitutions in the starting lineup.

As a result of these substitutions, Harry Maguire, Anthony Elanga, and Marcus Rashford have been taken out of the lineup and replaced by Victor Lindelof, Donny van de Beek, and Alejandro Garnacho, respectively. Since December of last year, Van de Beek has been waiting patiently for his first start in United colors.

In the meantime, players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, and Fred have been included on the bench as potential replacements. However, Raphael Varane (injury), Jadon Sancho (illness), Anthony Martial (injury), and Antony (injury) continue to be unable to play for their respective teams.

Ten Hag will be hoping for more of the same from his side despite the fact that he made the decision to make three changes to the side that defeated West Ham. His side's goals are to continue their recent run of good form and attempt to bag the top spot in the group. In the short time since the team news was confirmed, the shocking selection of Van de Beek as a player for United has garnered the most attention from the club's fans.

Below, MEN Sport has taken a closer look at what some of United's fans have to say in response to Ten Hag's decision to give the former Ajax midfielder his first start of the season. These fans have responded to Ten Hag's decision to hand the former United player his first start of the season.

As you can see from the messages that are displayed in the tweets that are displayed above, the decision that Ten Hag made to include his fellow countryman in the starting line-up was well received by the supporters. They have been doing everything they can to catch a glimpse of the former Ajax player this season, especially since he has been reunited with a manager who is familiar with him on a deep level.

De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, and Shaw make up the starting lineup for United. Casemiro, Eriksen, and Van de Beek are followed by Fernandes, Ronaldo, and Garnacho.

Dubravka, Vitek, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, McTominay, Iqbal, Elanga, Pellistri, Shoretire, and Rashford are the players who come in to replace the injured players.
