Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has returned to the side for this evening's Premier League match against Southampton.

The forward missed last week's 2-1 victory over Stoke City, but is back to join Robin van Persie in the attack.

Juan Mata and Ashley Young keep their places in the midfield, while Paddy McNair is drafted into the defence.
