Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Southampton in the Premier League today.

Manchester United made two changes for Sunday’s Premier League match against rock-bottom Southampton. Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka came in for Fred and Diogo Dalot following Thursday’s 4-1 win against Real Betis in the Europa League.

Charly Alcaraz was passed fit to start for Southampton, who made one alteration as Romain Perraud replaced Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

That change has seen Rashford move into a central striking role. He almost latches onto Varane's free-kick over the top, but Walker-Peters eases him out to clear as we enter one additional minute.

Another penalty appeal from the United fans! Was that handball? Rashford's left-wing cross strikes Bella-Kotchap as he goes to ground to clear. It looks like the ball rolled up his thigh before making contact with his arm, so no penalty is the decision!

United's corner comes to nothing and Saints break, but Shaw races back to win possession from Walcott. What an open first half this has been!

Fernandes goes down inside the area under a challenge from Walker-Peters, sparking a furious reaction from Southampton's players. United's players surround the referee, but the tackle was inch-perfect – Walker-Peters clearly got the ball. United have to settle for a corner.

Ten Hag is deep in discussions with McTominay on the sidelines, so a substitution looks imminent.

Great save by Bazunu! Antony wins a free-kick on the right-hand side, which is whipped towards the back post by Fernandes. Varane looks destined to turn the ball home, but Bazunu scrambles across to divert it wide! So unlucky for the 10 men of United!
