Manchester United will entertain Southampton at Old Trafford on Monday night as they look to break into the top four with a win at home. The Red Devils are currently sitting just one point behind fourth-placed Leicester City, so they will be eager to secure all three points versus the Saints. However, it won’t be an easy contest for them as the South coast side are unbeaten in their last three matches in the Premier League.
Talking Tactics
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will stick with a 4-2-3-1 formation and will instruct his players to maintain a high line so that they can dominate the ball in midfield and create some clear-cut goal-scoring chances in the final third.
Ralph Hasenhüttl will opt for a 4-4-2 formation and is likely to ask his players to press high the pitch and exploit the opposition’s defensive weaknesses when they are vulnerable on the counter using the pace and work ethic of Shane Long and Danny Ings up top.
