Fixture: Southampton vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has named his matchday squad for the Red Devils' trip to the south coast to take on Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium this evening.

With Victor Lindelof nursing an injury, Mourinho has made a few changes to his defence. Nemanja Matic has dropped back to the defence and he will partner Phil Jones at the heart of it. Ashley Young gets another game at right-back, with Diogo Dalot on the bench.



The Manchester United manager has gone with the midfield three of Scott McTominay, Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera.

Paul Pogba will play further forward as a number ten with Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford partnering up front. Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata are some more options Mourinho has on the bench.

Lying seventh in the league table, Manchester United and Mourinho are aware that anything less than a win could see them lose further ground on the top four.
