LET HOPE THAT THIS WEEK WILL GO WELL FOR THE RED DEVILS
Five Things To Look For
United are back in action after an international break and will host Southampton on Saturday at Old Trafford (15:00 BST).
Ruthless Reds When United take to the pitch on Saturday afternoon, the Reds will be looking to make it nine wins against Southampton in as many games. Having last lost to the Saints back in 2003, United have won every encounter since, scoring 22 goals in eight games against the south coast side. Even more impressively, the last time United lost against Southampton at Old Trafford was in a penalty shootout back in 1992.
Rooney’s fine form Having started the season in excellent fettle, the Reds’ no.10 has continued his streak of impressive form, scoring in England’s recent 2-0 win over Poland to help secure World Cup qualification for the Three Lions. Rooney is currently United’s second highest scorer for the campaign, one behind Robin van Persie, and having notched a brace in this fixture last season will be looking to continue his scoring run on Saturday.
A second start for Januzaj? After grabbing all the headlines following his match-winning intervention against Sunderland, it will be interesting to see whether manager David Moyes rewards Adnan Januzaj with another starting berth. United are, of course, famed for trusting young talent, however the club also know that bedding in youngsters slowly is just as important as giving them their opportunity to begin with. In a squad already bustling with talent, the 18 year-old's emergence will undoubtedly cause a welcome selection headache for the boss.
The stubborn Saints As we've seen, the champions have an extremely impressive record against the men from St. Mary’s. However, this season’s encounter promises to be one of the toughest in recent years. After the Saints ran the Reds extremely close back in January, they have since gone from strength to strength. They currently boast the second best defensive record in Europe and could prove to be an extremely tough nut to crack for home side. Expect a tight affair.
Experience required With many of the United squad returning from long-haul international commitments, manager David Moyes will face a tricky test ensuring his squad remains fresh for this important clash. However, with the likes of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic all now retired from international football, Moyes may feel that their freshness and know-how will give United the advantage come 15:00 BST on Saturday.
What will you be looking out for in tomorrow's fixture?
