The first leg of the teams' last-32 tie was due to take place in Spain on 18 February, but will now go ahead in Turin, Italy on the same date due to coronavirus-related travel restrictions.

A Uefa statement released on Tuesday read: "Uefa can confirm that the Uefa Europa League Round of 32 first leg match between Real Sociedad de Futbol and Manchester United FC will now take place at the Juventus Stadium in Turin.

"The date of the match (18 February 2021) and kick-off time (18:55 CET) will remain the same.

"Uefa would like to thank Real Sociedad de Futbol and Manchester United FC for their close cooperation and assistance in finding a solution to the issue at hand, as well as the Italian Football Federation and Juventus for their support and agreeing to host the match in question."

The second leg is expected to go ahead at Old Trafford in Manchester on 25 February as scheduled.

The news of the first leg's relocation follows similar announcements regarding other fixtures across the Europa League and Champions League.
