Manchester United fans have swarmed to social media to complain about their Europa League match against Real Sociedad, and they aren't annoyed at the players.

On Thursday evening, United travelled to the Reale Arena to face La Liga club Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 clash.

Having been knocked out of the FA Cup by Fulham last weekend, the Europa League offers United their last chance of bringing silverware back to Old Trafford this season, meaning the stakes were as high as ever.

However, just minutes into the first half of the match, United fans took to social media to make their feelings clear about one frustrating detail about the game.

In the UK, coverage of the match is being shown live on TNT Sports, but fans have made it clear online that they are not happy with the camera angles being used to show the match on television.

Reacting to the coverage of the match, one fan wrote: "That camera angle for the United match is dreadful, looks like your playing the dynamic camera angle on Fifa with 20 zoom."

Popular United social media star Mark Goldbridge agreed, writing: "This camera angle is dreadful."

While another fan complained: "This camera angle is not great. So close to the pitch."

And one added: "Europa League, sort the camera angle out on the Manchester united game. It looks like someone messed with the settings on Fifa."

Going in to half-time the two sides remain locked in a 0-0 draw, with the first 45 minutes being largely uneventful.

The visitors registered three shots on target across the half, but will need to do more if they hope to take a lead back to Old Trafford when they play the second leg next week.

However ahead of the game, United boss Ruben Amorim admitted that he isn't too concerned about if his side progresses to the quarter-finals, where they would meet either Lyon or Turkish side FCSB

"We have bigger things to think about," said Amorim before Thursday's match in Spain.

"I know it's strange to say that, but the thing we're trying to build here is more important than winning a cup in this moment.

"If you look at our team playing and the results, it's hard to imagine big things for our club. But in the darkest moments, we have to have a light and a path."
