And they have now learned their path to the Europa League final – which will start with a clash against Real Sociedad, they have also been drawn on the same side as Lyon, Roma and Athletic Club.

And another added: “Why’s everyone so scared of Real Sociedad, our form recently has made everyone delusional it seems?”
It hasn’t been a dream start to life in Manchester for Ruben Amorim, who has seen his side sink to 15th in the Premier League – with a defeat to Tottenham their latest embarrassment.
