Old Trafford

Manchester United seek to book a ticket for next season’s European competition with a win against Southampton.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged side for the fifth consecutive time against Southampton - Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood lead the line with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes once more.

The Reds have not lost since the restart and will look to improve upon the 3-0 results against Aston Villa. Their destiny is in their hands to overcome the Saints and take the third spot after Chelsea and Leicester lost during the weekend to Sheffield and Bournemouth respectively.

Southampton after the 1-0 victory against Manchester City secured a point at Goodison Park with Everton. The saints are 12 on the PL table and a win will take them above the Toffees. Ralph Hasenhüttl has also named the same side that played Everton and its the third time the unchanged side is playing since the restart.
