Out of form Man Utd seek CL Fillip
23 Oct 2013 5:36 AM IST
Manchester United will once again turn to the Champions League for solace on Wednesday when Real Sociedad visit Old Trafford in the third round of Group A matches.
United slipped up in the Premier League again at the weekend, conceding an 89th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton. United top the group after a 4-2 win at home to Bayer Leverkusen and a 1-1 draw at Shakhtar Donetsk and approach the double-header with Real Sociedad knowing that a pair of positive results could leave them on the brink of the knockout phase.
‘I feel that this is an important one for us,’ Moyes said. ‘If we could win this one, it would give us a strong position in the group. We have to go out there and take advantage of the home game and try to get a result. ‘I hope it will go to plan. That’s what we want to do to put us in a strong position early on.’
United could be without senior centre-backs Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
