Man United is set to take on Southampton in a crucial Premier League match tonight, with both teams eager to secure a win. United, fresh from a morale-boosting victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup, will face the current bottom-dwellers in the league. The Red Devils, guided by Ruben Amorim, had to endure a tense penalty shootout to advance to the fourth round after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Arsenal. Despite being down to 10 men, United showcased resilience and determination in securing the win. This follows their impressive performance in a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, displaying a renewed sense of tenacity. However, they have not clinched a league victory since December.
On the other hand, Southampton, under new manager Ivan Juric, are still seeking their first Premier League win. Recent losses to West Ham and Crystal Palace, along with a crushing 5-0 defeat by Brentford, have made for a challenging start for Juric at St Mary’s. Despite these struggles, Southampton managed to secure a 3-0 victory over Swansea City in the FA Cup, providing a glimmer of hope. The last encounter between United and Southampton in the league resulted in a 3-0 victory for United back in September. The match is scheduled for an 8pm kick-off at Old Trafford, with coverage starting at 7pm.
