Imanol Alguacil, the head coach of Real Sociedad, has praised Premier League side Manchester United as “one of the best teams in Europe” after their 1-1 draw clash in the first leg of the Europa League last 16 at Reale Arena.
Alguacil, who spoke after the match, discussed his love for Manchester United and suggested that the English team “deserve much more” despite all their struggles this season, especially in the local league.
The Red Devils have battled against a difficult Premier League campaign while they currently hold the 14th position in the local league as they have just 11 matches.
The side of Ruben Amorim not too long ago was disappointingly knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend after they lost on penalties to Fulham.
Their most realistic opportunity of being a party to the European games next season may not be dependent on their Europa League campaign with a 10-point difference between themselves and the league’s top seven.
The Red Devils will be hoping to build on their chances when they encounter Real Sociedad in their second leg. The team also aims to keep their European hopes alive in what has been a difficult season.
