Manchester United vs Southampton Team News
Man United will check on the fitness of Eric Bailly, who was due to face Sheffield United but was forced to withdraw after picking up a knock in training.
The injury is not thought to be serious, but the quick turnaround in fixtures is likely to see him miss out to Victor Lindelof, who was an unused substitute in midweek.
The likes of Luke Shaw, Fred and Scott McTominay will be pushing for inclusion once again, while Edinson Cavani will hope to lead the line after Anthony Martial came in for criticism for his performance on Wednesday.
All of Cavani’s first four Premier League goals have come away from Old Trafford the first Manchester United player to have done that while behind him the usually dependent Bruno Fernandes has now gone four league games without a goal or an assist.
