Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte have not joined Manchester United for a trip to Real Sociedad in the first leg of the 16-round Europa League.
Central defender Maguire was 32 on the day of Manchester United travel – midfielder Ugarte missed an injured training in a fifth round loss in the FA Cup, making a free throw against Fulham on Sunday.
Manager Ruben Amorim and defender Matthijs de Ligt will hold a press conference after arriving in Spain at around 6.15 p.m. Wednesday.

Human joint injury
Since returning from December 1, Ugarte has failed on February 16 with injury on February 16 at Totterham, while Maguire has competed in Premier League matches at all clubs.
United do not have goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, so Dermot Mee and Elyh Harrison are the first studies to choose Andre Onana.
Defenders Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans, Midfielders Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo, and attacker Amad Diallo remain out.

Manchester United vs. Sociedad
The Europa League is the only realistic opportunity for Manchester United to win the trophy after the FA Cup championship this season.
Sociedad won a trade with Manchester United in the 2022/23 match, and he lost 4-0 Spain to the ninth place in Barcelona on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Royals ranked 13th in the league stage of the Europa League this season before defeating Midtjylland 7-3 in the knockout stage playoffs.
