Man United are under huge PRESSURE in Europa League, admits Christian Eriksen - as he backs Rasmus Hojlund amid near 21-hour goal drought

Manchester United will be under huge pressure to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League when they meet Real Sociedad again this week, admits Christian Eriksen.

The two teams are level at 1-1 from the first leg in Spain ahead of Thursday’s return at Old Trafford.

With United languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, beating Sociedad would keep alive their final hope of a trophy this season and the reward of a place in the Champions League.

Eriksen admits that the pressure will be on Ruben Amorim’s side with so much at stake.
