Manchester United will be looking to make it two in a row at the start of the Premier League 2021-22 season when they travel to St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday evening to face Southampton. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men opened their campaign with a thumping 5-1 victory at home over Leeds United last weekend. Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes’ hat-trick and goals from young forward Mason Greenwood and Brazilian midfielder Fred secured the win for the Red Devils.
On the contrary, Southampton suffered a 3-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park in their season opener. While Adam Armstrong scored the consolation goal for the hosts, kicks from Richarlison, Abdoulaye Doucoure and star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed the deal for Everton. After a woeful start to their campaign, Ralph Hasenhuttl will be eager to get his side open the account in the 2021-22 Premier League season.
The hosts have a dismal record against the Red Devils, as Manchester United have 12 wins, two losses and shared points in seven games in the 21 encounters so far. Both sides faced each other earlier this year in the home league which resulted in Southampton receiving a 9-0 thrashing.
The Premier League 2021-22 match between Southampton vs Manchester United, will kick off at 06:30 PM IST.
