Manchester United Confirmed Lineup vs Southampton: Greenwood in for Pogba; McTominay starts

Mason Greenwood comes in for Paul Pogba while Scott McTominay is fit to start as Manchester United get ready to take on Southampton in the Premier League.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made just one change to the side that started against Arsenal at the weekend for their upcoming Premier League encounter versus Southampton.

The only change sees Paul Pogba drop out to the bench, with the Frenchman being replaced by academy product Mason Greenwood, who is likely to slot in on the right-wing. Marcus Rashford should move to the left flank while Bruno Fernandes continues as the No. 10 for the Red Devils against Southampton.

Manchester United’s back five comprising of David de Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw remains unchanged for the clash. Fred retains his spot in the midfield double pivot while Scott McTominay also starts after having come off with stomach cramps in the last game against Arsenal.

Up top, veteran striker Edinson Cavani, who inspired the 3-2 comeback win the reverse fixture against Southampton last year, gets the nod again over Anthony Martial, who is named among the substitutes.

Manchester United Starting Lineup: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford, Cavani.
