Erik ten Hag reviews Man Utd's win v West Ham
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has put players through their paces ahead of this evening’s showdown with Real Sociedad. The Red Devils go into the match knowing victory by two clear goals will see them top their Europa League group. That’s certainly an incentive for the fallen giants because, otherwise, they could find themselves going up against European titans such as Juventus and Barcelona…
Manchester United have had a mixed record in the Europa League this season.
They lost 1-0 to Sociedad in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford on matchday one but, since then, have been able to overcome both Sheriff and Omonia home and away.
And Ten Hag put his players through their paces on Tuesday as United stepped up their plans for the encounter.
Members of the squad were seen working in rondos, with Marcus Rashford involved in one along with Luke Shaw and Alejandro Garnacho.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro were part of a separate group, with the trio working alongside Donny van de Beek, Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony Elanga among others.

Ten Hag oversaw the session alongside his coach and trusted lieutenant Mitchell van der Gaag.
And United squad members also worked on their fitness, too, by performing sprint exercises and jogging without the ball.
United will go into the match on a high, too, after getting the better of West Ham in a 1-0 victory on Sunday.
Rashford was the hero of the hour for the Red Devils, with the England international netting the only goal of the game with a brilliant header following a pinpoint cross from Christian Eriksen.
And United had a good October in general, responding well after losing 6-3 to Manchester City at the start of the month.

And he hailed his manager by saying: "I believe that, after being in football for quite a while, despite the fact I am only 30, his obsession for winning is what surprised me the most.
"I think he's got many strengths. We all know it's a process and we are growing together.
“But we all see that he wants to win. His obsession for teaching us and leaving everything perfect to the millimetre, that is key.
“His obsession for winning is something that only a few managers have.
"It's something I have only seen in very few managers."
