Manchester United settled for a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

It failed to spark a late rally and, although Odobert tested Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro for the first time in the 88th minute, Spurs were dealt a fresh blow late on when Solanke limped off after he was caught by AZ's goalkeeper.

It was a mixed bag for the British sides in the early Europa League games on Thursday night. The headline result of the night might prove to be Tottenham's 1-0 loss away to AZ Alkmaar, Ange Postecoglou's last chance of winning a trophy in his second season with the club looking altogether more challenging going into the second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in seven days' time.

Our Europa League round of 16 tie with AZ Alkmaar remains firmly in the balance after a 1-0 first leg defeat in the Netherlands on Thursday evening.
