Man United will be eyeing their first Premier League win in more than a month when they welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Amorim would like United to build up with a genuine three at the back, rather than the four it has been when protection is the first priority. At Anfield, United took the lead because Martinez sensed a moment to press high, snapping into Mohamed Salah to win the ball and then stay up to receive Fernandes’ slipped pass.

Manchester United is experiencing an exciting resurgence. After a rocky start, new manager Ruben Amorim has sparked a transformation, guiding the Red Devils to a series of impressive results.
