Man United injury, suspension news vs. Real Sociedad: Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo updates

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg of the Europa League last-16 tie against Real Sociedad.

Manchester United return to action on Thursday night when they square off against Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Ruben Amorim will need to rouse his side after the Red Devils were eliminated from the FA Cup by Fulham via a penalty shootout on Sunday.

As a result, this leaves United needing to place a considerable amount of focus on winning this competition to earn European qualification for 2025-26, a consequence of occupying 14th position in the Premier League standings.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of the first game of their double-header with La Real, who sit in ninth place in the La Liga table.

Martinez suffered a severe knee injury during Man United's Premier League match against Crystal Palace on February 2, and the Argentina international, who has undergone an operation, is now expected to be on the sidelines for the remainder of 2025.

Shaw has only made three appearances this season due to ongoing injury problems, and the England international recently had a setback in his recovery from his latest issue; a return date for the 29-year-old is therefore still unclear.
