The conclusion of the UEFA Europa League play-off matches has determined potential opponents for both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the next round. Both teams successfully advanced, with United finishing third in their group with 18 points and Spurs just one position and one point behind. The possible adversaries have now narrowed down to AZ Alkmaar and Real Sociedad, who triumphed over Galatasaray and Midtjylland, respectively. Sociedad's midfielder, Brais Mendez, confidently remarked that they are unperturbed by facing either English team, indicating their readiness for the challenge.
"We don't care [who we play]," Mendez said. "They are two rivals that just with the name they have they are incredible. If we have to go far, we have to beat the best. I'm not afraid of any of them."
"United finished third with 18 points from eight games, while Spurs were just one place and one point behind."
