A second south coast club visits Old Trafford inside a week as Ruben Amorim looks to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time as manager after scrapping past Southampton in midweek. Despite the win, it raises fresh doubts over the squad, which results and performances against Liverpool and Arsenal had looked to eradicate.

Amorim would like United to build up with a genuine three at the back, rather than the four it has been when protection is the first priority. At Anfield, United took the lead because Martinez sensed a moment to press high, snapping into Mohamed Salah to win the ball and then stay up to receive Fernandes’ slipped pass.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has welcomed the pressure to perform and feels it could be the factor which would help them turnaround their form in the Premier League. United are currently 14th in the points table.

Tyrell Malacia is set to leave Manchester United in the January transfer window after Ruben Amorim sanctioned his departure. The defender joined United from Feyenoord in 2022 in a £13million deal, becoming Erik ten Hag’s first signing for the club.

Diogo Dalot is back available after serving a one match suspension for Manchester United, while Luke Shaw is closing in on a return from his latest injury setback. Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte were withdrawn early in midweek with Ruben Amorim suggesting afterwards that this was due to fatigue.

Former Manchester United captain Harry Maguire appears to have finally lived up to his £80 million billing thanks to his resurgence under Ruben Amorim, who took over as manager in November.

Manchester United's clash with rock-bottom Southampton is more important than recent meetings with rivals Liverpool and Arsenal, Ruben Amorim has said.
