Alejandro Garnacho's first senior goal was not enough for Manchester United to top their Europa League group ahead of Real Sociedad despite a 1-0 win in Spain.

The result sees Erik ten Hag's side finish second in Group E and means they must now compete in a two-legged play-off against a third-placed Champions League side in February.

United travelled to San Sebastian needing a victory by a two-goal margin to leapfrog Sociedad and they made the perfect start when 18-year-old Garnacho drove through and fired home in the 17th minute.
