Ten Hag explains team to face Southampton

Following our 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Europa League in midweek, the Reds boss has opted to bring in both Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as Diogo Dalot and Fred move to the bench.

It appears Erik has chosen to deploy Jadon Sancho in a no.10 role this afternoon, with Antony and Marcus Rashford joining him in an attacking trio behind Wout Weghorst. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro anchor the side in deeper midfield roles.

Having returned to winning ways against Los Verdiblancos on Thursday night, United will be keen to do so domestically too, and Ten Hag has explained the reasoning behind his team selection when talking to MUTV.
