Five changes – Man Utd 3-4-2-1 starting lineup vs Southampton – Predicted XI

Today at 12:00 PM

Inconsistency has been the story of Manchester United over the years. Occasionally, they step up and display excellent performances in big games when they are written off.

However, then they perform poorly against smaller teams when they are favorites to win. The Red Devils defeated Manchester City last month before four consecutive losses in all competitions.

They displayed a promising performance against Liverpool at Anfield and earned a draw before beating Arsenal in the FA Cup last weekend.

Now, Man Utd will take on Southampton at Old Trafford in the Premier League tonight and it remains to be seen whether they can showcase consistency in this fixture.

The Saints are currently at the bottom of the table with six points from 20 games.

As for team news, Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans aren’t available for selection owing to their respective problems. Moreover, Diogo Dalot is suspended after picking up a red card vs the Gunners.

Predicted Man Utd lineup vs Southampton

Altay Bayindir was excellent in the previous game but Andre Onana has been the first-choice goalkeeper, therefore he should return to the starting Xl tonight.

Harry Maguire was very tired when he came off vs the Gunners so he could get a breather in this game and Leny Yoro could be called upon to start.

The Frenchman is likely to be in the RCB position, while Matthijs de Ligt may commence in the middle with Lisandro Martinez on the left.

Amid Dalot's absence, Tyrell Malacia could be deployed in the LWB position and Noussair Mazraoui might be on the opposite side.

There are unlikely to be any changes in the engine room hence Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo should start with Bruno Fernandes in one of the CAM roles.

Amad Diallo is set to be recalled after starting on the bench last time out, so, Alejandro Garnacho would have to settle for a place on the bench.

Joshua Zirkzee impressed last time out vs Arsenal after coming off the bench in the second half and even scored the winning penalty in the shootout.

Therefore, he is expected to be in the CF position ahead of Rasmus Hojlund tonight. Here is how Man Utd could line up vs Southampton:
