Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Southampton at Old Trafford tonight.

The Red Devils are presently 15th in the league standings with 23 points and have the opportunity to climb to 12th by beating the Saints.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

Andre Onana has been an undisputed starter in the Premier League for the Red Devils. He is expected to continue between the sticks.

In the backline, one change could be on the cards. Harry Maguire was sick in the last game and could be given a breather tonight.

Leny Yoro could come in to partner Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez in the central defensive department for the Red Devils.

With Diogo Dalot suspended, Noussair Mazraoui could move to left wing-back. Amad Diallo could slot in the right wing-back role.

Ruben Amorim may not opt for any rotation in central midfield. We expect Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo to retain their places.

Further forward, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho should continue in the number 10 roles. Joshua Zirkzee could lead the attack instead of Rasmus Hojlund, who has been poor in recent games.

Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Southampton: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Mazraoui; Garnacho, Fernandes; Zirkzee.
