Two Man United players have not been pictured in training ahead of Man United vs Real Sociedad.

Manchester United will be looking to avenge their disappointing 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad earlier in the season when they take on the Spanish side tomorrow night.

For the Red Devils to finish as group winners, they have to beat Sociedad, on their own turf, by two clear goals. Obviously, that’s a big ask.

Well, the task hasn’t been made easier, with a pair of United attackers missing from first-team training on Wednesday ahead of the match on Thursday.

It was Simon Stone with the information. He took to Twitter earlier today. There was also some better news, with Shola Shoretire training with the senior squad. Presumably as a replacement attacker for the pair who aren’t there…

Check out Simon Stone’s tweet on the team news here:

The lads are set to fly out to Spain later today, so no doubt we’ll hear more from Ten Hag on whether the duo are fit. Right now, it’s not looking good.

Antony was missing at the weekend with a knock, though Ten Hag insisted the problem wasn’t serious and he should be back soon. Perhaps this is just the gaffer’s way of ensuring the Brazilian is fit to take on Aston Villa at the weekend.

Sancho’s absence is a fresh concern. The former Borussia Dortmund man was on the bench when West Ham came to town on Sunday. Whether he’s injured, or just absent for other reasons, remains to be seen.

Hopefully, the pair do not have any serious issues, as we’re going to need them in the handful of games left before the month-long break due to the World Cup.
