Off to St Mary's for what we can all assume will be our usual 1-1 early season draw with Southampton. We always seem to play Southampton away in the first few rounds of the season someone needs to check the code that fixture computer is using.
Anyway Utd will be bouncing after that win on Monday night I guess the dilemma for ETH is does he stick with the same team again or does he make some changes. I assume Casemiro will be available think his visa is still going through but you'd expect that to be sorted my guess is he'll start on the bench.
Other question is up top will he start Rashford or will he bring in either Martial or Ronaldo with Rashford moving back wide.
My guess is it'll be a slightly changed starting XI.
DDG
Dalot Varane Martinez Malacia
McTominay Eriksen
Sancho Bruno Rashford
Martial
Southampton are a tricky opponent they either seem to give good sides a real scare and take point off them or lose by 5 goals or more a very strange side to say the least but they're full of young energetic players and in Ward-Prowse they have a player who seems to enjoy scoring against us. I had them down for relegation this season they just seem to be a side that's getting a little bit worse every season but they always seem to do enough to stay out of trouble. They seem to be a team that finish games strongly in their last two games they've come from behind in the second half to get a draw and a win so Utd will need to be on their toes even if they do get ahead.
Lets hope that Utd approach this one like the Liverpool game and get out of the traps quickly and get after them we need to build up a habit of starting games quickly to put the opponent on the back foot.
