Manchester United vs Southampton team news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made two changes to his side for Saturday's visit of Southampton.

Marcus Rashford and Andreas Pereira start at Old Trafford, with Fred and Diogo Dalot dropped to the substitutes' bench from Wednesday's 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.

Rashford was only used as a substitute against Palace, but has now recovered from an ankle injury picked up in last Sunday's goalless draw with Liverpool.

Pereira plays alongside Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba in midfield, with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez joining Rashford up front.

Relegation-threatened Southampton are unchanged from their 2-0 victory against Fulham on Wednesday night.

Ralph Hasenhuttl names Charlie Austin up front alongside Nathan Redmond, with Pierre-Emily Hojbjerg captaining the side.

Line-ups

Manchester United: De Gea; Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw; McTominay, Pereira, Pogba; Lukaku, Rashford, Sanchez.

Substitutes: Grant, Bailly, Rojo, Fred, Dalot, Chong, Gomes.

Southampton: Gunn; Yoshida, Bednarek, Vestergaard; Valery, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Bertrand; Austin, Redmond.

Susbtitutes: McCarthy, Stephens, Elyounoussi, Gallagher, Armstrong, Targett, Slattery.

Referee: S Attwell
