3) Do United need any more signings before the transfer window closes?

"“I’d push for a cheeky bid for Frenkie De Jong. Barcelona need to cash.”"

4) Looking from the outside, it seemed like it took a while for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to start winning over United fans after he became manager. Do fans feel he is the right man for the club in the long-term?

"“Listen back to our game against Leeds last weekend and hear the fans sing his name. You’ll find quite a few on social media who claim he should be sacked, and I would be lying if I said nobody was questioning him, but Solskjaer has the club in a good place and there’s a genuine sense of direction which wasn’t there under Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho.”"

5) There have been some classic encounters between Saints and United over the years that bring back good and bad memories depending on who you support. Which game sticks out in your mind? (yes, it can be the 9-0 if you want it to be)

"“Gotta be the 9-0. Lol.”"

6) How do you see Sunday’s game going?

"“9-0.”"
