Manchester United vs Southampton LIVE!
Ruben Amorim knows his team must produce more of the same as the manager looks to build momentum after impressive performances, and results, at Liverpool and Arsenal. Tonight, at home to Southampton, is a different type of test, as the worst team in the Premier League visits Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes made a point, on the pitch after knocking Arsenal out the FA Cup, that the focus was immediately on this game and now the United captain, and his team-mates, must back up those words against a team who are destined for the drop and have picked up just two points from the last 30 available.
Saint manager Ivan Juric recorded his first win, at the fourth attempt, since taking over, last time out, though it was against lower-league Swansea City in the FA Cup. These are the types of games where United struggle – how was Amorim’s men get on tonight? Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
