FT
The final whistle blows and United's European campaign begins with a defeat.
90 MINS + 2
Casemiro again pops up in the final third, but his tame effort is easily collected by La Real shot-stopper Alex Remiro.
90 MINS
Benat Turrientes is cautioned following his late challenge on Cristiano Ronaldo just outside the penalty area.
88 MINS
As the Reds continue to come forward, Alejandro Garnacho is the next to try his luck. His attempt again fails to trouble Alex Remiro and the ball sails over once more.
84 MINS
Fred is the next name to be taken by referee Marco Di Bello, after his late challenge on Igor Zubeldia.
81 MINS
Alejandro Garnacho is again involved down the left flank, as he attempts to beat Andoni Gorosabel. He eventually plays the ball across to Fred, whose cross finds Jadon Sancho, but he unfortunately mistimes his strike.
83 MINS
It's the Reds' final replacement of the evening and a proud moment for Charlie McNeill, as he makes his first-team debut. Brais Mendez is substituted for Benat Turrientes for the visitors.
78 MINS
Substitutes Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes link up cleverly to carve an opening. The latter touches the ball across to Casemiro, whose low drive is smartly saved by Alex Remiro.
78 MINS
Takefusa Kubo is withdrawn, with Ander Barrenetxea the man to take his place.
74 MINS
Alexander Sorloth picks up possession following a strong tackle on Jadon Sancho. The forward then races towards goal, before Lisandro Martinez is quick to break up the attack and thwart any further advances.
71 MINS
Real Sociedad defender Aihen Munoz was shown a yellow card following his body-check on Antony, before the winger was withdrawn.
71 MINS
Ten Hag makes his third and fourth changes of the game.
68 MINS
As United bid to restore parity in the contest, full-back Tyrell Malacia does well to find a yard of space on the edge of the La Real penalty area. Unfortunately his effort was just a little too high, as again the ball sails over the visitors' crossbar.
65 MINS
Bruno Fernandes again finds time and space to deliver from the right hand side. His deep cross evades everyone but Casemiro at the back post, but the Brazilian headed into the ground and over the bar.
65 MINS
Mohamed Ali Cho replaces David Silva for the visitors.
62 MINS
Having just fallen behind here at Old Trafford, United manager Erik ten Hag is cutting a relaxed figure inside the dugout, as his side attempt to draw the game level. In what has been a difficult start to the second period, Bruno Fernandes has provided fresh impetus from the bench, and our Dutch boss may yet call for further reinforcements as the game edges on.
61 MINS
There were murmurings around the press box following the award of that spot-kick, as the ball appeared to ricochet up on to Martinez's arm from his thigh after Silva's shot. The Video Assistant Referee took a look at it, though, and decided the decision should stand and now United will have to come from behind.
60 MINS
Former Manchester City man David Silva is given a yellow card for a late foul on United midfielder Casemiro.
59 MINS
After a brief VAR check, the penalty award stands and La Real midfielder Brais Mendez buries the ball into David De Gea's bottom-left corner.
57 MINS
Our no.6 is shown a yellow for the offence, although it looked to have taken a deflection off his thigh first.
57 MINS
David Silva's shot is blocked by Lisandro Martinez and the ref has pointed to the spot after it hits the Argentine's arm.
