Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Thursday's Europa League last-16 first-leg clash with Real Sociedad.

Manchester United will be without 11 players for Thursday's Europa League last-16 first-leg clash with Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena.

Lisandro Martinez (knee) and Amad Diallo (ankle) are both ruled out for the rest of the season, while Kobbie Mainoo (calf), Luke Shaw (hamstring), Jonny Evans (muscle), Mason Mount, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton (all unspecified) all remain in the treatment room.

Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte are also ruled out after they sustained knocks in last weekend's defeat to Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round - a 4-3 loss on penalties at Old Trafford.

The absence of Maguire will likely see Victor Lindelof handed a start at centre-back alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro, or Noussair Mazraoui could move from wing-back into the three-man defence.

Mazraoui could be dropped if he does not play as a central defender, as Ruben Amorim is likely to recall left wing-back Patrick Dorgu, who is available to make his European debut for Man United after serving the first of a three-game domestic suspension last weekend, while Diogo Dalot is set to start on the right flank.

Toby Collyer has shaken off a knock and has been included in Amorim's 18-man travelling squad. The 21-year-old is in contention to start in midfield, although both Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro may get the nod instead.

Out-of-form strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are both likely to retain their places in attack, as 17-year-old Chido Obi-Martin is ineligible after he was not registered into Man United's Europa League squad that was submitted last month. Alejandro Garnacho, meanwhile, will be pushing to return fo the first XI after shaking off a knock to feature as a substitute last time out.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee
