Plus, if last season’s two encounters are anything to go by, this should be a match well worth tuning in for. The same fixture last November was a tense 2-2 draw that almost spelled the end of the Jose Mourinho era (he was gone a couple of weeks later), while the March reverse was a tight 3-2 win for United packed with jaw-dropping strikes like this absolute worldie from Saints’ Yan Valery.

And when you consider Southampton’s Jürgen Klopp-esque tendency to press high and attempt to force opponents into a mistake will be pitted against United’s more clinical, frighteningly quick counter-attacking style, this has all the makings of another frantic, end-to-end goalfest.
