Is Southampton vs Manchester United on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture
Manchester United travel to St Mary’s to take on Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as the home team seek to sustain their impressive run of form and keep themselves in contention for a European place.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have won five, drawn two and suffered two defeats this season and entered the weekend fifth in the standings, while United’s up-and-down performances had them 10th before the gameweek got under way.
The Saints earned a 1-1 draw against Wolves in their last game, with Everton loanee Theo Walcott finding the net for Southampton for the first time in nearly 15 years to put the visitors ahead at the Molineux on Monday.
United, meanwhile, were last in action on Tuesday, comfortably beating Istanbul Basaksehir 4-1 in the Champions League group stage, with a brace from the in-form Bruno Fernandes setting up Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team for victory before a Marcus Rashford penalty and late Dan James finish wrapped things up at Old Trafford.
