Manchester United vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more tonight

Ivan Juric spoke about the prospect of facing Man Utd tonight and what he thinks of their indifferent form since Ruben Amorim took over.

Juric said: “Manchester United have changed the manager, they’ve changed their style of play. They play 3-4-3 like [Ruben] Amorim did at Sporting [Lisbon].

“They are trying to find the right way. They’ve played some good games, some bad games, it’s normal when you change the style of football.”

Ruben Amorim has said it is “clear” Alejandro Garnacho can have a bright future at Manchester United despite reports linking him with a move away this month.

Sunday’s FA Cup match at Arsenal, which United went on to win in a penalty shoot-out, was the first time Garnacho had made Amorim’s starting XI since the 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on December 7.

Southampton boss Iva Juric is hopeful that Flynn Downes will be able to feature against Manchester United tonight.

Speaking ahead of the game he said: “Flynn Downes did his first training yesterday.

“He is ok. We will see if he can play from the beginning or later, but it is ok.

“I think everybody is fit, everybody is ok.”

Luke Shaw is nearing a return to the team says Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim though it will be a couple of weeks before the left-back is fit to play again.

Amorim said: “Luke Shaw is nearer than Mason Mount.

“Mason Mount will take a little bit longer. Luke, we’ll see in the next week or two. We’ll see if he’s returning.”

Ruben Amorim spoke about Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez and whether the two defenders would be able to play tonight’s match.

“Harry [Maguire] was sick in the last game,” said Amorim. “He was dead in the end – and that’s what I want from every player.

“Harry, we will see. We cannot lose him, so we will see [if he can play]. Martinez, I think, is okay. Diogo [Dalot] cannot play – his fault!”

Manchester United’s recent upturn in form will give them confidence ahead of facing a Saints side who have lost three on the bounce, including a heavy 5-0 defeat to Brentford last time out in the league.

Ruben Amorim will be keen for a morale boosting win at Old Trafford and his players should deliver if they hit similar levels to their recent outings against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester United 3-0 Southampton.

Southampton have no new injury concerns after beating Swansea 3-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend, but Jack Stephens, ross Stewart and Flynn Downes remain sidelined.

Predicted Southampton XI: Ramsdale; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Wood; Bree, Ugochukwu, Aribo, Walker-Peters; Dibling, Onuachu, Sulemana.

Diogo Dalot will serve his one-match suspension this evening after his red card against Arsenal, while Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount remain sidelined. It is assumed that Marcus Rashford will not be in the squad as he continues to look for a move away from the club.

Other than that, there are no new injury concerns for Ruben Amorim, though Andre Onana will likely return to goal despite the heroics of Altay Bayindir at the weekend. Tyrell Malacia is the obvious choice to replace Dalot at wing-back, while Joshua Zirkzee will hope his cameo was impressive enough to take the place of Rasmus Hojlund at striker.

Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Malacia; Diallo, Fernandes; Zirkzee.
