Man Utd boss Ten Hag admits attacking trio out of Real Sociedad clash

Manchester United will be without forwards Antony, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.

Sancho is ill while Martial, who has not featured since 9 October, and Antony are still recovering from injury.

United will finish top of Group E if they win by two goals or more in Spain.

That will send them into the last 16, otherwise they face a two-legged knockout round play-off in February.

Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag said Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to start against Real Sociedad, who top Group E going into the final round of games on 15 points, three more than United.

"Ronaldo is an important part of this group and a leader type," added Ten Hag.
