A REAL SOCIEDAD star has reportedly been blocked from facing Manchester United after being denied a visa.
Arsen Zakharyan has not been allowed into the UK ahead of the Europa League round of 16 second-leg clash.
The midfielder was forced to stay in Paris with a team-mate while his club tried to fix the issue.
But his visa has been denied so he will not be able to feature in the second leg at Old Trafford, report El Diario.
Hamari Traore also waited in the French capital but has been granted a visa so will travel to meet up with the rest of the squad.
Zakharyan, 21, is a Russian international and he has eight caps to his name.
But he has been denied entry after making just four appearances for the LaLiga side this season, including one in the Europa League.
It is a boost for United after they drew the first leg 1-1 in Spain last week.
Joshua Zirkzee opened the scoring and the Red Devils led at half-time before Mikel Oyarzabal levelled from the spot.
Meanwhile United have been boosted by Mason Mount returning to training after a lengthy injury lay off.

The 26-year-old midfielder has not played since the 2-1 derby win over Manchester City on December 15 due to a hamstring tear.
Mount will not be fit to face Sociedad but Manuel Ugarte could be after missing the last two matches with a minor problem.
