Man Utd vs Real Sociedad LIVE: Europa League score as Bruno Fernandes penalty levels for hosts

20min: Shouts for another penalty ring from the Stretford End as Remiro clatters Hojlund in the process of claiming a cross.

Looking at the replay there does not appear to be a foul committed, though the Dane did take a knock on the head and appears to be seeing stars, though he will continue.

18mins: That penalty really spares Hojlund his blushes.

He got the shot away before being taken out and saw his shot routinely saved, but the focus will be on Zubeldia’s rash tackle rather than his scuffed shot.

16mins: Fernandes tucks the penalty away after a very deliberate runup and caps the perfect response for United!

Exactly what the doctor ordered. We are honours even at Old Trafford, and the momentum is quite clearly behind the hosts now.

13min: Who could have seen that coming – Rasmus Hojlund wins a penalty!

He pelts into the box to meet Fernandes’ cross and is taken out by Zubeldia – the pen is clear as day.

Our senior football correspondent Richard Jolly has the latest from Old Trafford:

“Mikel Oyarzabal has a history of scoring against English opposition. After his late winner in the Euro 2024 final, an early penalty here. Judging from the noise the Sociedad fans are making, they are dreaming of a final in Bilbao, perhaps against Athletic Bilbao.”

10min: SOCIEDAD LEAD! Oyarzabal wins the penalty and dispatches it into the bottom right corner, sending Onana sailing the opposite direction.

An early lead for the visitors. United fans and players alike look a little nervous.

There is one positive, though – there is plenty of time to react.

8min: It is a surprisingly long check, but the referee points to the spot!

De LIgt looked to have made a tidy clearance, but upon closer inspection is seen to have cleared out the man before the ball.

A disaster start for Manchester United, unless Onana can redeem them.

8min: The referee heads to the monitor…

5min: United’s first press forward is characteristically toothless. Garnacho swings a cross in and it bobbles into the arms of Remiro in goal for Sociedad.
