ALEJANDRO GARNACHO scored the winner to give Manchester United an impressive win against Real Sociedad… but it wasn’t enough to seal top spot in the group.
The Red Devils dominated the first-half but tailed off after the break and failed to add to Garnacho’s 17th minute strike in a scrappy second period.
Eyebrows were raised when Donny van de Beek was included in the starting line up for the first time this season.
And the Dutchman did nothing to repay the faith Erik ten Hag put in him, barely managing a touch of the ball before being hooked with over half an hour left to play.
There were impressive performances elsewhere, but David De Gea deserves credit for a stunning double save just before the break that proved the 31-year-old still boasts razor sharp reflexes.
