Ole Gunnar Solskjær will be without Anthony Martial but has backed teenage forward Mason Greenwood to play a bigger role after Alexis Sánchez’s departure. Manchester United suffered memorable defeats at the Dell but are unbeaten at St Mary’s since 2003. Ralph Hasenhüttl is eager to end that run and build on impressive away wins over Brighton and Fulham but the hosts also have attacking absences, with Nathan Redmond and Moussa Djenepo both out. Southampton begin the weekend in the relegation zone but victory would lift them above United. Niall McVeigh
