Ruben Amorim brutally calls out Man Utd player after Real Sociedad draw

Manchester United were held to a draw by Real Sociedad in the Europa League.

Ruben Amorim called out one Manchester United star after his side's draw against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.

The Red Devils were in action in the Basque Country on Thursday night as they took on La Liga side Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 clash.

In front of a packed crowd inside the Anoeta, United took the lead through Joshua Zirkzee in the 57th minute.

However, captain Bruno Fernandes was then adjudged to have handled the ball inside the 18-yard box, which gave Sociedad the chance to level the match from the spot.

Spanish international Mikel Oyarzabal cooly dispatched the penalty to secure a 1-1 draw ahead of next week's second leg at Old Trafford.

After the match, Amorim was asked about Diogo Dalot's failure to find Rasmus Hojlund in one particular passage of play.

Dalot had the ball in a great position on the right with Hojlund making a good run in the middle and the Dane was in a good position to receive the ball for what would be a one vs one against the keeper. However, the full-back failed to cross and instead cut back inside to play another pass and the move eventually broke down.

The United boss replied: "The decision was not the best."

Reflecting on his team's performance, Amorim stated that he felt United played well up until the penalty was given.

He said: "I think we played well until the penalty. But then the penalty, I think, changed a little bit the momentum of the game. I felt the team were a little bit tired in the last 20 minutes and that also helped them take control of the game in the final 20 minutes.

"Until the penalty, we were in control, had the opportunities. After our goal, we were really good because we were near the second goal."

Amorim continued: "That is clear. We are creating chances. Sometimes you don't see it in the xG because we manage not to shoot, but the great opportunity is there and you can see it.

"We have transitions, we have situations, and sometimes we are missing something. And that can change, especially in this kind of game, that you need goals that can make a difference for everybody."

United will face a huge test this weekend when they return to Premier League action against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
