Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday against Southampton at Old Trafford. Here, find a preview for the game alongside odds, live stream, team news and lineups.
Manchester United vs Southampton Preview
On Thursday night, Manchester United edged closer to the Europa League quarter-finals after an emphatic 4-1 victory against Real Betis in the round of 16 first leg.
Goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst sealed an important win for United, bouncing back in impressive fashion from Sunday’s 7-0 defeat at Anfield.
Before the disaster on Merseyside, United were on an 11-game win streak and fresh off the back from winning the Carabao Cup – the Red Devils’ first trophy in almost six years.
Relegation-threatened Southampton sit 16th in the Premier League table but earned a vital three points at home to Leicester City last week thanks to Carlos Alcaraz’s first half winner.
United have won just one of their last three meetings against the Saints but will head into Sunday’s 2pm kick-off with more optimism than ever – Erik ten Hag and Rashford were named Premier League Manager and Player Of The Month respectively for February.
