Southampton v Manchester United: Match preview, team news, predictions, betting odds, venue & where to watch details | Premier League 2018-19
A Manchester United team struggling with inconsistent form is all set to face a Southampton side who has managed to win just 1 league match all season in what could be an important match for both the teams at the St Mary's tomorrow.
Manchester United seemed to have found a rhythm but the trip to neighbours Manchester City brought an end to their mini-revival as the Red Devils failed to win at home against Crystal Palace and had to toil hard to win their match against Young Boys at home in the weekday, after the Red Devils had comprehensively beaten the Swiss side 3-0 in Bern.
Southampton situation this season has been by far one of the worst with the Saints winning a total of just 3 matches the whole season. The Saints have won just one of their Premier League matches with a victory over Crystal Palace coming on the 1st of September.
