Player updates
Mount and Ugarte's return boosts United
Mount and Ugarte's return to training comes as a massive boost for Manchester United.
Ugarte has been out injured, missing the last two matches. Meanwhile, Mount hasn't played since December 15 against Manchester City.
Ugarte is likely to be involved in the tie at some point but the same cannot be said for Mount, who has ensured a torrid time at United since joining the club with injuries.
Defenders
Yoro and Maguire are likely to miss Sociedad clash
In terms of absentees, defender Leny Yoro is also likely to miss the return leg after sustaining an injury during a match against Arsenal.
He was absent from training on Wednesday, along with fellow center-back Harry Maguire.
Patrick Dorgu, who is serving a suspension domestically, will be available at left-wing back.
This will see Noussair Mazraoui be one of the three men at the back alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof.
Ayden Heaven is another option on the bench.
Information
United's long list of injuries
Apart from Yoro and Maguire, a host of other players are also ruled out due to injury. These include Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo.
Information
Mount has made only 33 appearances for United
Since joining United in the summer of 2023, Mount has only played 33 times for the club, scoring once. In the ongoing season, he has been limited to 13 appearances. He made 20 appearances last season.
