Southampton vs Manchester United: Four key Saints

Southampton will face a difficult task this weekend, as Manchester United visit St Mary’s.

Mauricio Pellegrino’s men, who are fresh off the back of a much needed 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace, will be looking to take this momentum into potentially one of their toughest fixtures this season.

Manchester United have made a phenomenal start to the new campaign, netting 16 goals in their opening five games.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping his side can maintain their superb form, and keep the pressure on at the top of table.

United have scored four goals in Premier League ties on three occasions already this season, with the 4-0 drubbing of Everton last weekend the latest to add to their collection.

Southampton will know they have to defend well against a very confident United side, with a potential return to the starting line-up for Virgil van Dijk offering Saints a huge boost.

So, which Saints players will particularly need to be on the top of their game in this fixture?
