Manchester United will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they head to St Mary's on Saturday afternoon to tackle Southampton.
The Red Devils opened their 2024-25 season with a 1-0 success over Fulham at Old Trafford, but they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion in their second match of the campaign before going down 3-0 at home to Liverpool before the international break.
