Potential Game Changers:
Likely to score:
Captain and Vice-Captain options:
Paul Pogba: United’s most gifted player and their biggest crowd puller as well. The 26-year-old Frenchman is a tad too inconsistent for the talent he has. But under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the former Juventus star seems to be enjoying his football more. How United fares in this game will depend on how much Pogba affect the game.
Last season:
Marcus Rashford: The young Englishman is not only a star for the future but a vital cog already in Manchester United’s current wheel. With his pace and dribbling skills, the 21-year-old will be a threat all day long to Saints’ backline.
Danny Ings: An old-school striker who loves to play on the shoulder of the last defense. Pretty consistent with his finishing as well, and has a decent record against Manchester United in the Premier League.
Suggested combination:
GK: Gunn
DEF: Danso, Bednarek, Maguire, Lindelof
MID: Ward-Prowse, Hojberg, Pogba, Mata
Attackers: Ings, Rashford
Captain: Pogba Vice-captain: Ward-Prowse
