Southampton will play Manchester United in the Premier League at the Old Trafford. Here's a look at Manchester United's current form, best players and head-to-head record against Southampton.
Southampton are back in Premier League action on Thursday. After a refreshing 3-0 win against Swansea, the Saints will face Manchester United.
Playing against the Red Devils is never easy. The Saints know this better already, having suffered many huge defeats against them.
Recently, their manager Ruben Amorim also made a chilling claim before the match.

Still, Manchester United haven't been at their best in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim's Red Devils have emerged victorious only once in their previous five matches.
Thus, there's hope for Southampton to get a decent result in midweek. Furthermore, Manchester United could miss the injured quartet of Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Amad Diallo.
Despite that the Red Devils boast of enormous quality throughout their squad. Starters like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez have been Manchester United's best players so far.
Amad Diallo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Marcus Rashford have lead the attack for them up front. Furthermore, the latter two were on target when these two sides met in September.
The head-to-head results in recent years have mostly ended in a draw, though.
According to stats from AiScore, Manchester United have won two out of their five matches against Southampton. The Saints have been winless and the remaining three have been draws.
Recently, Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson also shared his predictions for the game. Merson believes that the Red Devils could celebrate another goalfest at the Old Trafford.
Many Southampton fans still remember the heavy 9-0 loss that came there three years ago.
Let's hope that isn't repeated at the Old Trafford this week.
