Early team news for Southampton trip Here's everything we know about the two line-ups heading into Saturday afternoon's clash.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an update on five absent Manchester United players, after our win over West Ham United on Sunday.

The Reds recorded a 1-0 victory over the Hammers thanks to Craig Dawson’s second-half own goal. It was an excellent result against a side gunning for a place in the top four, but even more so, considering the Reds were missing so many key first-teamers.

With a huge week coming up for United, including cup games against AC Milan and Leicester City, Ole was asked whether he will be able to call upon any more players for the double-header.

WHAT DID OLE MAKE OF OUR WIN OVER WEST HAM?VIDEO
“We hope, we actually hope all five of them will be back,” the boss revealed. “David [De Gea] hopefully, Donny [van de Beek], Edinson [Cavani], Paul [Pogba] maybe, and Anthony [Martial] is very likely to be back. So a stronger squad to travel to Italy with.”

It’s a huge boost for the Reds, as we head into the second leg of our last-16 tie, following a 1-1 draw from the Old Trafford meeting earlier this week.

De Gea missed that match and our last four games, with the goalkeeper returning to Spain for the birth of his first child.

Prior to the game, Ole explained that David’s availability will be dependent on him passing a COVID-19 test after following the required protocols since his return to England.
Meanwhile, van de Beek has missed the majority of the last month with a muscle problem, while Pogba last played in the 3-3 draw with Everton on 6 February, due to a hamstring injury.

Cavani has missed the last three games with a minor knock and Martial was forced off at half-time in the first leg against Milan.

Should they all return to the team for the reverse meeting at the San Siro, it means that only Phil Jones and Juan Mata will be ruled out through injury.

Make sure to watch Ole’s pre-match press conference on Wednesday for another injury update on the five players.

Impressive record against Chelsea and 3 other strong reasons why United should beat the Blues

The Red Devils travel to Stamford Bridge on Monday and here's why they will be the better team against Chelsea.
The league streak

Manchester United are undefeated against Chelsea in the Premier League since November 2017, when Jose Mourinho's men lost 1-0 to Antonio Conte's side at Stamford Bridge.

Bruno settling in

With the Spain warm-weather training camp under his belt, Bruno Fernandes will be looking to make an impact at Stamford Bridge.

Closing the gap

A win against the Blues will allow the Red Devils to reduce the top 4 gap to just three points ahead of the crucial run of fixtures.

United's big-game record

Man United have typically done well in big Premier League games this season, securing positive results against the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham.

Fred: 'We need to improve as a group, we have a lot of inner problems'

As per the Brazilian, United are lacking too much right now.
On the pitch, it's creativity while off the pitch it's the sticking together mentality.
Some players want to solve problems on their own which is wrong, the midfielder explains.
Manchester United have not had a great season so far. Fred has opened up on the Reds' main issues at the moment.

"We are lacking too much right now, first of all, we need to figure out things inside of pitch, we are lacking creativity, especially in midfield," the 26-year-old told De Sola.

"We need to improve also as a group, our group lacks the 'sticking together mentality', we have a lot of inner problems. There are a lot of discussions, well, every group has this sort of problem, but ours has a lot!

"Vanity is also an issue and we need to stop this and just run inside the pitch! We need to stick an objective inside of our heads and focus on it and go forward.

"We need to be on the same page and today some players are differing in objectives, there are players that just want to solve problems alone and this is wrong."

Indeed, this campaign is a tough one for United. Since the beginning of December, the Reds have won 5 of their 12 Premier League clashes, losing 4 and drawing the rest 3.

Most recently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's crew drew 0-0 against Wolverhampton at Old Trafford on the Premier League Matchday 25 last Saturday.

With 35 points after 25 fixtures, United crew are currently seventh in the standings, one point behind Sheffield United, 2 points behind Tottenham, 6 behind Chelsea, who are fourth at the moment, and 38 behind runaway leaders Liverpool.
