Follow all the action from Old Trafford
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:
Manchester United vs Southampton
Surely Ten Hag will be considering a change now. United have looked threatening in attack, but with Casemiro off, there's an incredibly attacking look to their midfield. Fernandes and Sancho are holding the fort in the middle for now.

Close! Ward-Prowse lines up a free-kick following Casemiro's ejection… the shot hits the wall, and drops agonisingly wide of the left-hand post! That could have gone anywhere.

Southampton have been bright throughout this game, and with United's midfield mainstay Casemiro sent off, they will view this as a great chance to cause an upset!

Casemiro goes into the book for a heavy challenge on Alcaraz. However, the United man's foot was high, and the referee has been sent to the VAR monitor to review this. Casemiro may be in big trouble!
Manchester United vs Southampton
Weghorst fluffs his lines! Shaw whips a great cross towards the back post, where Bella-Kotchap gets caught under the flight of the ball. Weghorst is on his heels and sends a tame header straight at Bazunu.
Manchester United vs Southampton
We're past the half-hour mark at Old Trafford, and though United have created a couple of good chances for Rashford, Southampton have missed the best opportunity of the game through Walcott. Ten Hag's men look slightly unbalanced in midfield without Fred, and they could do with a spell of possession to calm things down.
