Arrasate prepared for ‘real’ United

Real Sociedad coach Jagoba Arrasate expects his side to come up against the “real” Manchester United in tonight’s Champions League Group A clash at Old Trafford.

United head into the contest against the Spanish outfit off the back of Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Southampton, which left the Barclays Premier League champions with a total of just 11 points from their opening eight top-flight fixtures this term.

It has been a difficult period for United boss David Moyes following his appointment as successor to Alex Ferguson over the summer, but Arrasate is not reading a great deal into that with regard to what might occur tonight.
