Ruben Amorim believes his side can progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League with the backing of the United faithful at Old Trafford next Thursday, following his side’s 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in San Sebastián. 

In a match that ultimately proved devoid of chances and quality, Joshua Zirkzee put the visitors ahead before Mikel Oyzarzabal fired home from the spot to leave the fate of who will progress in the hands of the second-leg in a week’s time.
