Manchester United v Southampton: match preview

Southampton will be without Sadio Mané for the visit to Old Trafford
  
  


As only one point separates Manchester United from Southampton Louis van Gaal will be keen to defeat the visitors as the race for the Champions League berths continues. This match may see the sight of Víctor Valdés on the bench for United for the first time after the former Barcelona keeper signed an 18-month deal to be David de Gea’s deputy as the club’s No2 goalkeeper.
